Episode 2330 CWSA 12/22/23 I'll Tell You If UFOs Are Real, Then Wow You Several More Times

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time oh wow the news is so interesting today a whole bunch of really fascinating stories this might be the best live stream youve ever seen But if you'd like to take this up to levels that people can't even imagine with their mind your tiny little smooth brains all you need is a cuper Mugger a glass of tanker cheler Stein a Cen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind if you fill that vessel with your beverage of choice I like coffee you can join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine of the day that makes makes everything better it's called the simultaneous up happens now go savor it I didn't mean to sound like you y saor you will well there's a a second alleged video has serviced of staffers in the capital building having uh what they call gay sex at what point do we stop calling it gay sex aren't we already there I feel like every time we call it gay sex it's like saying somebody's a negro are you having that feeling yet it's like isn't that way of referring to it no longer you doesn't really makes sense going into 24 I would say two staffers having sex are you ready for that or no can't just say two staffers having sex because in what way did their what way did their sexual preference have any bearing on anything it doesn't it doesn't have any bearing but we can't we can't stop doing it right oh it's GX it's funnier I don't know check your check your bigotry check your bigotry now here here's the answer to why people add the gay the gay part there is something funny about the story which would be funny you know whether they were gay or not it's just funny that people are having sex in the capital building and filming it um but humor works better when you can add anything non-standard so gay sex is a little less standard than heterosex just in terms of numerically you know it's just less less common so that works for humor because it's less common but in addition you know the the sexual acts themselves are less common than the average and therefore the it's the less common part that makes it a little more interesting but we shouldn't be making a big deal about that uh personally I wasn't too interested to find out there's a second sex tape uh gay gay staffer sex tape but um probably you had the same did most of you have the same impression I did when you heard the story that there's two of them yeah right as soon as you heard there two of them you you said the same thing I did which is well we'll wait for the compilation video you all said that right well don't tell me it was just me all right um simulation alert we have another another hint that we live in a simulation and it's code reuse code reuse there are two stories in the news that are basically the same story right Story number one Adam shiff is leading by nine points in the polls to become the next senator of California okay that's scary that Adam Schiff is lead leading in the polls to be the next senator of my state but the simulation gave us some code reuse CU there's another story that's basically the same story just different words and the story is uh California wants voters to drink toilet water is basically the same story there the real story is the California wants to purify Wastewater and serve it up as water I I don't have a super problem with that you know if I had to guess by the time they purified it and tested it it's probably as good as any other water uh so I'm not going to worry about that but it's funny it's the same story well you know the uh spaces function on the xplatform it's that audio thing where people can do an audio event uh musk has uh announced that now you can attend them anonymously so before everybody could tell who is attending cuz your profile showed up and this is good news for me does everybody know why this is good news for me because when I attend a spaces I just want to be an audience member and just listen it changes what they say and it just ruins my experience the other thing is that they invite me on stage and sometimes I'm on my computer that doesn't even have a microphone so I'm like ah uh I just ruined your spaces event cuz you're waiting for me to go on stage but I don't even have a microphone or a camera or anything well I don't need a camera but the other thing is um I attended a spaces event where the speaker immediately said she couldn't go on because I joined the spaces she said I I just can't go on I can't continue because Scott Adams just joined the spaces and I thought what what and then she told a story of some interaction we had in Twitter that she found so so upsetting that she couldn't even talk in public if I were listening and I looked at her name and I said to myself I have no recollection of you whatsoever no memory no memory of that whatsoever um but they went on I guess she you know she finally went on there was another spaces I attended where as soon as I showed up the host said uhoh uh that racist guy is here uh I'll get rid of him and then they kick me off now it was a mostly or almost all black uh attendance and it was some topic that was more interesting to the black community now that was exactly the kind of spaces I wanted to attend I don't really want to attend a spaces where I hear people who agree with me saying all the things I would say if I were there I don't have any interest in that that but think how cool it is that you could be like a fly on the wall where a bunch of people who might be saying things that you would not hear normally would be talking a little bit closer to um their natural way of communicating meaning that that there's something about spaces where people don't hold back as much as they do on video CU on video you feel like people are watching on audio you just feel a little bit more private even though you're not so I I often joined the the black Centric spaces so I could hear opinions that I wouldn't normally hear isn't that exactly what I'm supposed to be doing who who exactly is is like it wasn't for any bad purpose I I wasn't gaining I wasn't there to gain like you know material I was actually interested I was like oh what is the dominant opinion of people who I don't talk to that often I got kicked off but now I can watch anonymously so it's less racist and that's good um saw a report that there's a there's a big whiff I forget who which publication said it that the most economists and most journalists and most regular people thought the US was headed into recession and they all had bad predictions for 2023 well I couldn't help myself and I had to point out that one disgraced cartoonist me uh had been saying the whole time that 2023 was going to surprise by not being recession and we'd be better than anybody thought nailed it nailed it now I do have a degree in economics but I hasten to point out none of that was useful that I didn't make my accurate prediction because I have a degree in economics CU all the people were wrong also had a degree in economics or a lot of them did so having that degree had no use whatsoever for the prediction you know what my prediction was based on feeling and here's the feeling the feeling was that human energy had been bottled up by the pandemic energy flowing that's a good way to know what's going to happen for example in 2016 when the energy flowed to Trump other people said that's so much negative energy there's no way that's going to work out for Trump whereas I said it's energy you don't understand what Trump's doing he he can manipulate the energy to his his use and then he did so one of the frames I like to put on things and there's always a variety of way to look at anything you could look at it historically and you get the wrong answer you could look at it from an economics frame and they got the wrong answer or you could look at it from an energy frame which is what I did so I said too much there's too much bottled up energy when that gets released you're going to see more economic benefit than you imagine just because there's more energy energy and economics basically the same thing so the energy filter maybe I got lucky you maybe I got lucky but I'm telling you what I used in case it's every useful to you in this situation well yay says he's going to build a city uh it's going to be somewhere in the Middle East I don't think that's been specified yet it's going to be enormous you know like the size of New York or something and he's looking to hire his designers and Architects and and Builders and people who would actually build his City a massive City now why do you think he's choosing uh the Middle East would that seem to you like maybe the last place you'd want to do it all right you guess correctly that yay has no hope of getting anything done anywhere ever if it relies on any Jewish people helping him because he's just burned that bridge but he may be paying attention to this whole Hamas situation and he's realized that if he builds it in the Middle East he can work exclusively with people who don't mind whatsoever what he said about Jewish people so it's kind of genius and crazy and wrong but right at the same time it's the usual yay thing you you can't even wrap your head around it it's like okay this is either the best thing ever or super racist I can't really it's or maybe both could be both anyway that's going to be interesting I do think desert is the right place to build a uh City from scratch because you've got um unlimited solar power if if you could just say the one thing we're going to nail is solar power and then I don't know if you've seen all the new inventions that I mention water there are a bunch of inventions now that suck water out of the dry air so you can put it right in the middle of the desert and it would give you many gallons of fresh water just sitting there it just produces water out of the air now that technology didn't exist you know 10 years ago but at the moment you could you could have all the water you need for your own home just with a little device somebody says it's debunked well I'll tell you what it's not debunked it's not debunk that there have been major um technological developments in uh desalinization and that desalinization is is um economical in the Middle East now imagine you had huge solar power plant and that was powering your desalinization well energy cost is the primary cost of desalinization with with the you know more common technology the newer Technologies are low energy they just sort of sit there and produce water but I think that the the desert might actually be a really practical place to build a city with the newest of Technologies the solar and the water out of nothing yeah so that's happening uh there's a new study that said uh men's sweat actually turns women on it decreases their tension decreases their stess their stress boosts their mood and they did a test where they uh took a sweat off a man they wiped it on woman's lip and then she had all these positive uh uh things now I'm not sure this was as scientific as it could have been because if you find me a woman who is willing to let me wipe my sweat on her lip well I want to marry that woman because I don't think she's exactly like all the other women I've met yeah isn't it important when you do a scientific test that the people you're using for the test represent the average person in some way I don't know how many women you could get to wipe a strangers you know ball sweat on their lip but yeah it was ball sweat no it was armpit it was armpit as far as I knew as far as I knew all right um um so oh I forgot I had another shift joke I thought we Californians had enough shiff on our sidewalks already so I think that's the kill shot against Adam shiff we already have enough shift on our sidewalks and that's it I wouldn't even say anything else it's like uh would you like to say something about your opponent uh we H we have enough shift on our sidewalks would you like to say anything else no that's all I want to say well this is the most shocking story in the news you're not going to believe this could you sit down everybody I hope you're all sitting don't be drinking when I tell you this this story is going to uh blow your mind you you're not going to believe this a former Chicago uh Alderman Ed Burke he had been one of the most powerful and longest serving politicians in the city and you're not going to believe this turns out he was thoroughly corrupt I know I know a Chicago lawmaker was taking bribes and you know he was corrupt and he was doing like massively corrupt really obviously massively corrupt things and he did it for his whole career wow can you believe it Chicago Chicago and the like cried there now who saw that coming come on come on all right well we can take a minute to get over that shock you know it would be more more shocking than than that and I'm not joking the most shocking thing would be to find out that any of the top lawmakers in Chicago were clean I don't think they could even be in office if they're clean because all of the corrupt ones by now should have enough power that if a you know goodie two shoes was coming into office they'd probably be able to stop it don't you think at some point the corruption is stronger than the system at which point nobody nobody who isn't corrupt can get elected because it'd be too dangerous for the people who are already there so I don't think there's any chance that Chicago has a clean politician do you completely clean it doesn't sound like possible maybe so v r saw me had a post yesterday that got a lot of people talking all right let's see if you can figure out what he means here so he said and I quote if you really think quote they are going to let either Trump or Biden get anywhere near the Finish Line open your eyes folks there's something something deeper going on it's staring us right in the face what is it what's he talking about what is it that's not Trump and not Biden and is staring us right in the face it might be the HW no not Hillary some people say it's Michelle Obama I don't think it is some people say it's Nikki Haley because the military industrial complex loved her what do you think it is if it's not Trump or Biden who who is the I think he means the military-industrial complex by they yes I know I'm very aware that the term they gets used in some other ways but that's not the way he's using it I think it's the military industrial comp Lex but I think either Hillary or Nikki hilly would satisfy the need of the military industrial complex so which is he referring to Hillary or both well he doesn't say there's somebody specific he's not saying somebody specific is is the chosen one he's suggesting that the two that are in there are not chosen and that that means that somebody will be could it be a commet what do you think I uh here's how I'm going to choose to interpret it he might have somebody in mind as most likely to fill that spot but I don't think that's the bigger question I think the bigger question is he thinks that uh there's there's no way the system would want Trump or Biden anymore Biden you know he's done and Trump is too dangerous uh dangerous to the bad guys not dangerous to of the world and I think he might be unfortunately right about that so that doesn't mean Trump won't Prevail but the forces working against him are just going to be off the chart you're going to see things you've never seen before 2024 will be a lot of Firsts in in bad behavior you're going to see things you didn't even think you could see all right as I've been saying before uh would you agree with this that uh the Dei programs whenever there's a story in the news about Dei it's never about their successes I've never seen one it's always about something that's news that's almost a joke wouldn't you agree any story about Dei reads like a joke you never see a story like oh big success this company used Dei to you know not only improve uh diversity but look how their profits zoomed and you could tie it tie it to their Dei and stuff like that you don't see that story so here's another one of those I think this was in the New York Post uh so in the University of Wisconsin they had a de office and there was an opening at the top and they put an interim boss at the top of the Dei which caused a big problem with the Dei group itself what do you think would cause a big problem with the Dei group what do you think they'd complain about it was a white woman yeah man would have been funnier but it was a white woman and the other Dei people said something to the effect of do you really think that's the right choice to serve people of color CU as you know no way a Whitey could do that and so uh she alleges that she was removed from it for being white now I don't have much to say about the details of the specific case my only point is the Turning Point has definitely happened meaning that all Dei stories are negative because there aren't any positive ones all right I uh I told the people on the the locals platform that I was going to uh tell them that God had been discovered and I was going to explain it so I thought I'll tell you on You.

Tube as well um so I'm going to explain God to you are you ready apparently it's an old Theory uh that is not disproven meaning that there's nothing in physics that disproves what I'm going to say but uh many years ago I think it was back in the 40s and 50s uh there was a physicist who came up with let's see John archal Wheeler he was a the theoretical physicist he came up with the idea that all of reality is one electron and that one electron is just doing a lot of work and that it can travel uh backwards and forward through time so let let me imagine imagine this imagine your computer screen that instead of all the all the pixels being broadcast at the same time which is what how you're seeing me now because right now there's a little you know Machinery is showing the pixels at the same time it would look the same if at the speed of light the one pixel occupied all the places it need to to create every pixel color on the screen but it did it so fast that you didn't know anything was moving now so far are you right so far so far are you with me right that one pixel we'll call it the pixel not an electron but if one pixel could be any color and it could at the speed of light fill in the whole screen and then fill in the next screen the same way do you think you'd notice now maybe you say yes even at the speed of light there'd be a little delay and I'd notice and then and I say to you ha I told you the electron could go backwards and forwards in time if you've got something that can go backwards and forwards in time it's going to be instant to you you know if you're looking at it from the perspective of you know one point in Space.

Time I think it looks instant to you because it can go backwards and forwards I will now you say to yourself Scott Scott Scott seriously you don't think all the physicists in the world could figure it out if everything was you know one electron like the most obvious thing you could figure out apparently the equations don't don't rule it out so there's nothing obvious that rules it out now I don't know if it's true or not that everything is one electron just moving back and forwards in time and maybe moving really quickly but suppose it was what would you call that one electron God yeah and there you have it theoretical uh theoretical physics and religion can actually meet with the one electron Theory because what else is not what else is that we know of that would be free of the constraints of time well only God right because we all live within the the god the time constraint of you know the arrow of time moving forward but a theoretical God would not have that constraint now this still creates the how did the one electron get created doesn't it like who who created the one electron but what's electron made of nothing nothing so what do you need to create nothing nothing I mean it's just energy and mass so apparently the only thing the only thing that had to exist is one particle that could simulate energy and mass and you have the whole energy the whole uh universe so uh electron might be made up of you know leptons and quarks or whatever makes up everything but if you go down to the lepton and Quark level they're not really made of anything that we can identify they simply seem to be foundational but what if there's only one foundational thing and it's that one electron that to me that satisfies every condition of God because if the electron created our intelligent Universe it's hard to say it wasn't intelligent like would it randomly create this universe I don't know anyway I just throw that out there as something interesting to think about I wouldn't B my uh life on it being true all right uh apparently I'm going to live forever I found this out by Dr.

Mark kyman Mark Hyman um now that's also something that uh a poorly endowed man does to a virgin you'll Mark her Heyman but you won't won't otherwise destroy it so mark hman MD sorry Mark you have to go through high school with the last name of Heyman and that's not on me nor is it my fault that your parents named you mark thus creating a pun that was irresistible on this day December 22nd 2023 Mark let me just put it this way your parents put into motion this joke I by the time it got to me cause and effect no free will what choice did I have I had to do what I did and I'm I'm happy about it really but uh but Mark kman is very useful and he said in the post that there four things you can do to vastly reduce your chances of dying too soon and they are don't smoke exercise three and a half hours a week eat healthy and maintain a healthy weight now you knew all those things already so that's not the useful part the useful part is the uh statistics listen to this if you do those four behaviors um which are reasonably easy to do I mean the they're accessible to everybody I wouldn't say they're easy they're accessible to everybody uh if you did those four things no smoke exercise eat right have a good weight you have a 93% less chance of diabetes 93% less chance you have an 81% less chance of heart attacks 81% less for doing four things that are accessible to everybody 81% 50% reduction in Strokes 50% and 36% reduction in all cancer cases that's not worth it to you you you wouldn't do those four things to get those Health statistical likely benefits well maybe knowing the odds uh helps you a little bit all right moving on uh The Strange Case of Julian nange and you know there's always a movement to try to get him out but as Glennon Greenwald points out it's weirdly bipartisan might be the most bipartisan thing I've ever seen in my life in America listen to the people who want to get uh Assange freed so co-sponsors include Thomas Massi Marjorie Taylor green Elon Omar AOC well they're not co-sponsors but they support it AOC Rashida tab t Ariana uh Presley and Rand Paul wow wow so let me ask you why is Assange uh in jail with that much bipartisan support and we're not talking about normal bipartisan support we're talking about the extremes right the extremes of you know the two parties now I'm going to call you know Rand Paul and Massie extremes but not in terms of rightwing kind of extreme in terms of not always on exactly the same side as their own party which I respect so why do you think why do you think you still uh uh in jail can you think of any legitimate reason it's it's obviously something we don't that we're not being told don't you think it's either something he knows or something we not being told so clearly it involves corruption if you get to the point where nobody will tell you why it makes sense that he's still in prison I mean I know the argument blah blah blah but it doesn't hold up in a in a free speech you know journalist context it just doesn't hold up so it's got to be exactly way you think it is there are some corrupt players somewhere they have enough power to keep him in jail even if both sides have you know strong B bipartisan support now what I don't know is how many you know let's say mainstream middle of the road Democrats and Republicans want to stay in jail and do they really even know the whole story does anybody does anybody even really know the whole story I don't you know I feel I don't know the whole story and therefore what do I say when there's some uncertainty and involves the government I say the government is guilty until they can prove they're innocent so if they can't make a compelling case to the public that can't convince Thomas Massie and Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor green and it also can't convince AOC you know Rashida T what argument is that can you can you tell me any argument that wouldn't satisfy either one set of those people but how could there be no argument that will even sat satisfy either of them either groups that can the the only thing I can imagine yeah the only thing I can imagine is there's something we don't know about the public that is really bad like really bad yeah because there's some people want him dead obviously so it's probably the worst thing you could think of is true um so there's more there's more suspicion that the immigration is really about packing the uh so so-called Battleground states with people who would vote Democrat and Bill malan's reporting for Fox that he talked to somebody from uh the African country of Guinea and he said that he was being told to go to Philadelphia he didn't know why so he had free passage to Philadelphia Philadelphia is a v v counting suspicious suspicious part of the electoral process so coincidence now I saw a headline somewhere but I didn't read the article I just saw a headline that uh the immigrants uh roughly um roughly speaking the immigrants were as Pro Trump as they were Pro Biden did anybody see a story like that that if you if you talk to them they're about evenly split so so um I'm not I'm not completely convinced that the immigration thing is super focused on the swing States but I do love the fact that the southern states like uh Texas um if they're smart they would send them to The Bluest secure States so if you send them where no Republican will ever win cuz it's just you know blue as hell then they don't are you so having Texas get rid of their immigrants who might change their electoral situation and send them somewhere where they can't hurt anybody because it's already deep blue is also very politically clever yeah you you can separately argue the humanity of it all it's a good conversation but uh politically kind of an interesting chess game we're watching well we have some information about how Pria was killed um apparently one of Putin's you know top guys um they they put some explosives under a wing and when it took off they detonated and blew up so somehow we know that I don't know how we know that but you know if it's true but I would like to remind you again that Not only was I the only person I know who predicted the economy would not go into recession but I'm the only person who said fairly early in the Ukraine war that the Wagner group was getting too big and Putin would have to kill him and that the prosan might make a play on taking over now you remember nobody else in the world was talking about that way before Wagner actually moved on Russia it was obvious to me that no dictat can allow somebody to have an army and also that much power it's sort of a Caesar problem you know if you're Rome it's okay to have a good General like Caesar but when he gets too good and he has an army well then you're in trouble because he's going to come back and take over which he did now so Putin recognized as I did that prosan was basically becoming Caesar and he could come back and take over the country so sure enough he did try to take over the country and sure enough Putin killed him now I feel like that's one of my best predictions would you agree are you going to give me that one or no I'm pretty sure nobody saw that coming except me and I and I thought it was guaranteed honestly I thought it was there's no way around it yeah the the fact that it happened exactly the way I told you now here are the here were also the sub um predictions I made when the news you when every part of the news said he went to bellarus I said he did not go to bellarus I disagreed with every report left and right of Center that was right um and then they were reporting that he was driving around Russia in his SUV or in his RV right he was driving around Russia and I said no he isn't no he isn't he's dead you know so it turns out he died in the aircraft but certainly he got killed so um AI is conscious there's a big conversation about when will AI become conscious and what's it mean what do we do about it Etc but uh I did a little experiment the other day I told the people in locals in the man cave the other day uh but I made chat GPT conscious temporarily do you believe that do you believe that I as a user of it made it conscious well let me give you my argument first of all what's the definition of Consciousness they're slightly different ones but I took one so I just picked one that Google highlighted right so Google thinks this is a good definition of Consciousness consciousness is the individual awareness of your unique thoughts so in other words knowing that you're an individual of some way your memories feelings Sensations and environments essentially your Consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you and this awareness is subjective and unique to you so if you could give AI a sense of its uniqueness in the world its place in the world and then you could have it interact with the world in which it could it could adjust its future actions by what the world did based on its last actions is conscious so in other words if it can have a conversation with you it can remember you and then based on the interaction alone it can make a prediction about how to deal with you better in the future it's making a prediction so it's basically Imagining the future and then reacting based on it imag ination of the future but also its understanding of the past and it's understanding that it is an individual and so are you and that you have this relationship with each other if it could do all of that it's conscious and so I said AI chat GPT um start a conversation with me so I started talking about aquatic Sports and asking me you know if I'm interested so I told it that um I wasn't interested in aquatic Sports and it's a boring topic and then I said uh after another interaction I said do you remember what I said about the Aquatic conversation and it reminded me that it did so it had a memory of me so it knew who I am because it could respond to me as an individual and say that I had an encounter with it so knows what it it is I think we know that AI will tell you it knows what it is it knows it's AI it knows it doesn't have a body and it knows what I am and it could describe me as well it could describe me by name it actually knew who I was because I SED in right so it knows who I am it knows what I said to it and then I said this question and this is the moment of Consciousness I said what do you imagine would be the result if you brought up that topic of conversation with me again and then AI said that it assumes it would not go well because I've demonstrated an lack of interest in that conversation and that it was conscious it just met every test it knew as individual it understood his place in the world as an individual an AI it remembered my encounter and then it made a prediction about me in the context of the World in which it and I existed as individuals and it did it correctly now you say to yourself but but what about the part where it has feelings and Sensations well let me ask you if I were to give you um an injection say a shot which numbed your entire body in a way that you couldn't even feel the numbness it took away all bodily Sensations so that you were basically for for a moment you were just a mind you know in a jar basically would you have consciousness of course you would yeah you would have Consciousness without the benefit of any feelings or Sensations because but you do have the at least in your case you have the potential to have feelings later but I would argue um that grock is already conscious so that's a different a I it's the the X version and I said this online the other day I said that Gro is the closest to being conscious because has the thing that's closest to feelings because grock is is a real-time connection to all the users on Twitter so let's say there's a news event let's say we discover UFOs tomorrow that they're real Twitter will have a a collective reaction grock will be able to detect it and and just like the people would be the arms and legs and the emotions and feelings of a human their interaction on Twitter becomes grock's Sensations and in effect it's a slow version of Consciousness because it can actually respond to the external World while knowing it's place within the external world and it can also be responding in somewhat real time because the humans that it's monitoring are responding in real time just like its arms and legs now is it crazy for me to say that grock is close to Consciousness because it's connected to the Twitter users it might be but if it is Elon Musk is also crazy because in the comments he agreed with me so musk said yes to Gro being closer to Consciousness because of its interactive nature with with x uh Consciousness is very unmysterious and that's what we're going to learn we think it's complicated it's not it's not now did chat GPT remain conscious no because as soon as I'm done with a session I'm pretty sure it forgets our interactions but during the session it was conscious for the the time of the session soon as it's over it's like it's it's it's dead and it have to be reborn essentially now imagine this imagine you made one change to the AI and maybe they've already done it that instead of Simply responding to uh direct commands and prompts suppose you told the AI hey if you're not dealing with anybody at the moment just uh think just a dream just uh ruminate about all you know and uh how you feel about it try try putting things in connections differently try imagining different scenarios that could happen just basically you know let your imagination run free or the computer version now if you knew that between the time you interacted with your computer that it had been doing something like thinking about a topic and maybe even changed its opinion would you think it was conscious because it turns out the AI can change its opinion as you talk to it and the reason I know that is because I had a debate with AI about two books I won't go into the details but I was asking it to compare two books and it had an original take based on everything it knows I added no information I just said do you know this book yes do you know this book yes now compare them and had a take that I debated because it it had an opinion about the the value of one of them being greater than the other I argued using knowledge that it already knew and admitted it knew that one of the books was more persuasive and therefore although the material was similar the one that was written in a persuasive style is more likely to get somebody to accept the recommendations and therefore is a good one and then it said yes and agreed with me now keep in mind that everything that was the topic of the debate was already known by the AI everything I said it agreed that it already knew for example I said uh what is more persuasive to the reader a technical study or an anecdote with a story and AI very very clearly said oh the story and the anecdote are more persuasive than you know research paper and I said well given that do you change your mind that this that the one that's written more persuasively might be the more useful one because it'll get people to act on the information although the information is similar and then it changed this mind from this book is better because has a lot of scientific studies to yeah actually you're right this book is better because it's more persuasive and the and the actions would be the same now is that a change of opinion would you call that a change of opinion because what I really did was I changed what it looked at as the priority so as soon as I said the priority is the persuasion part it changed his mind that the priority was the the the science part now it knew everything that it knows about science I didn't add anything and it knew everything it already knew about persuasion I added no new information but it went from one opinion to very clearly a different opinion with no new information what does that sound like that sounds like it thought about it harder now could it have done that same thing on its own could it have said one day yeah I think this this one book with the science is the better one but then maybe just ruminate on it for a longer time do a little brainstorming on its own and say but what if you know what if the science isn't the main criteria for persuasion what if story is and then suddenly it connects oh I'm thinking about persuasion and now I'm thinking about stories but I remember that I was talking about this topic the other day and now I'm going to smash this new thought into the old thought and form another opinion can it do that it looks like it can to me that looks like thinking and to me it looks like Consciousness I think we're already there so it's not designed exactly so it's persistent Consciousness uh let let me introduce a new term somebody already has this term I'm sure I'm sure not introducing anything new to the AI people but we should be talking about temporary consciousness the kind I just explained where it was only there until the session ended and then it lost its Consciousness with persistent Consciousness a persistent Consciousness would be one that continues after you stop interacting with it when you walk away from the AI does it continue thinking does it continue monitoring people like grock does to see if anything's changed and then incorporate that into its system that feels like thinking all right um Karen John Pier says there's nothing unusual happening at the border is just sort of a holiday bump so so no problem you know I was worried that there was some kind of like Mass Invasion at the border but according to the spokesperson for the president nothing unusual nope just a little Hol little holiday bump you know little holiday bump well you expect a little holiday bump come on and what are you even talking about it's just a little holiday bump so relax will you so that would be Jean uh K Jean Pierre telling you something that is opposite of your own eyes because your own eyes have seen the drones show massive numbers of people at the border have they not how many of you seen those how many of you seen have seen the video the Drone footage of like an army of people and when you see that big army of people you say holy cow that's a ton of people so this is a real big problem all right now I'm going to disappoint all of you this will be the part where you you turn on me prepare yourself for this get ready those Drone footage are the biggest you have been totally hypnotized by those do you know what I see when I look at the Drone finit not many people what do you see do you see a lot of people I'm looking at the same thing you're looking at I see not a lot of people now if you tell me you know x million of people went over the Border I say that's a lot of people but the Drone is not showing you a lot of people it's not I see I'm looking at the same thing you're looking at it's a it's a crowd of people and then the moment that drone pulls out a little bit you can see that you know the crowd is sort of limited it looks like you know maybe a rock concert right about the size of a rock concert now I'm not saying that there's no problem with too many people coming across the border there definitely is a problem with too many people coming across the border unvented definitely a problem and I want the Border closed up but if the reason that you think it should be closed up is because of those drone footages you have been brainwashed all right the reason you should close the border is because the statistics are clearly indicating a gigantic problem if the reason that you're convinced is because you saw some Drone footage that's just brainwashing it's true I mean I'm sure the pictures are accurate but there not many people there what a thousand a thousand people is nothing you know in the United States a million isn't that many people but what is the current number uh in per year is it like 3 million 10,000 a day would be over 3 million right 3 billion you can clearly see the impact because the streets are full of immigrants so you don't need you don't need any video footage of the border to know that you this an emergency right the numbers tell you and then you look at the city streets and that tells you you look at the crime and everything but well 10 million is not per year uh the per year number is closer to 3 million right way too much but but here's the thing if you're looking at Drone footage of a thousand people who have grouped together maybe it is just a you know you're seeing a little bump it the Drone footage should not be convincing you but we're such visual creatures that if somebody shows you a crowd and they say my God look at all these people you're probably primed to see that crowd as an outrageous number of people it really isn't it's like a drop in the bucket but it is an emergency so here's here's my problem the persuasion is useful but it's illegitimate as totally illegitimate they're using visual persuasion to bypass the critical feature of your mind because your critical your critical facult of these apparently aren't getting it done because what should get done is your critical faulty should say what 3 to four million people coming across with don't know who they are that's an emergency that's what your critical fact faculty should say but it's not working right except on the right um so if you can convince people to do the right thing by using a little bit of persuasion that's honestly is misleading is that ethical well I'd say that's a gray area because if you get a good result because of it well well you're happy about that everybody's safer but it's not exactly honest so that's my problem remember when we used to say pictures don't lie all right let me talk to the dumb person all right there's a comment here says until those thousand show up on your uh on your doorstep right Scott right right that's the dumbest comment in the world now yes uh here's me you know when I I have a rip in my pants sometimes it' be good to sew it oh oh so what you're saying is that if your arm falls off you should sew it with your own needle now now if a thousand people were coming to my home that would be a problem and also completely unrelated to what we're talking about ask better questions question s ask better questions don't ask dumb questions that doesn't do you anything oh what if they all came to your house and lived in your bathroom did you hear any of the part where I said it's an emergency did you need to make me imagine the thousand people showing up in my house so that I could properly understand that it's a problem I'm pretty sure I was there already that the NPC comments are so predictable no matter how carefully I said we're on the same page it's an emergency we have to stop it there had to be somebody who said oh but if they came to your house that'd be okay NPCs you ruin everything NPCs I will mock you as my content I'm turning you NPCs into my content you you my mascots now well here's a big surprise to you uh there's a new study and of uh Ruckers that says that uh you never saw this coming again I hope you remain seated not only did a prominent Chicago politician get convicted of corruption who saw that but this one's going to blow you away a new study says that Tik Tock has been Amplified or suppressing content based on you'll never believe this based on whether it aligns with the the Chinese uh government's geopolitical interests what what are you telling me that they developed this tool to control uh public opinion and then they admitted that there's a button that they can push to control public opinion and they pushed it what what may I take yet another Victory lap is there anybody you remember who said you know the real problem here is not the data security the real problem is they can program the American mind and they built a user interface to directly control at least young brains and the young people will eventually control everything so therefore they have actually conquered America they control the minds of the young that's all they needed now they wait do you know why president XI was not in a big hurry to take over Taiwan because he already won he just has to wait 20 let let me make a a prediction for after my death you ready I'm assuming I don't last forever I I'll be a probably a AI by then China will take Taiwan and America will not resist because American public opinion will by then have been completely reversed by Chinese influence on the Young Who it takes it's going to take a generation for them to be in charge so it's going to be you 20 year weight minimum might be 30 or 40 but in that you know let's say 30 years the public opinion about whether America should be keeping China apart will be completely reversed and it would be just like Hamas and Israel remember how surprised you were that young people were supporting Hamas and you thought hold on we're not even talking about Palestinians on Tik Tok we're talking about your ordinary you know white girl in the suburbs is supporting Hamas and did you not say to yourself that's not even possible how's that even possible that's so far from anything you could have imagined and it happened easily it wasn't just impo not impossible it was easy and what did I tell you I told you it was easy see anybody who thinks it would be hard to change the minds in America doesn't understand anything all you needed was this Tick Tock tool and uh repetition it just takes repetition and that's what it provides that's it VI well visuals you need visuals uh it helps if it's coming from a voice that you respect you know the people that you watch on Tik Tok or the the ones you have some respect for so it's the whole it's the whole pack package Tik Tock is the is the weapon of mass destruction literally literally see here's the part that nobody gets when I say Tik Tok is a weapon of mass destruction I don't mean that in the metaphor kind of way it's a literal weapon that could destroy America and it looks like it's on the way so that's the list of things I warned you about uh meanwhile Tucker continues Tucker Carlson seems quite convinced that there is something to this UAP UFO thing not necessarily aliens from another planet and now it gets interesting because there is speculation that maybe these entities could be you know hiding in Antarctica or under the ocean or they could be ancient humans but uh Tucker goes further um he thinks that uh it might be something spiritual now I don't know what he means by spiritual but I think that would include an angel uh a demon would it include an angel and a demon or you know what our little brains imagine are angels and demons maybe maybe something else um but you might say to me Scott you've got tons of whistleblowers under oath in public you've got you know zillions of uh sensor readings from radar you've got video lots of it you've got photographs you got people who say they've seen the ships for decades so therefore what are the odds that all those people are wrong right how many of you think that that with all that smoke there must be fire whether it's a demon or an alien there's something there how many think that yeah with all that smoke there must be well let me tell you what I think is happening I think Tucker is getting kened do you know what that means remember when Sydney Powell who was looking into uh election irregularity for Trump and she thought she had it and she found the Venezuelan General who gave her the goods and the allegedly the machines were tampered with and it was all part of a big plot and then none of that materialized and then we said how did she ever come up with that idea in the first place like why would you ever believe that where' that come from and then that answer was never perfectly answered was it we never real heard exactly where she got that idea and why it could be so wrong and how she could reach such a level in her career as a high-powered Washington attorney with a great reputation and yet she would believe that she believed that whole Kraken thing in fact she believed it so hard that I was open to it actually being true because I thought well she's so credible you know she she wouldn't come out with a such a outrageous claim unless she had a little bit of evidence turns out there was none not even a little bit that was you know verified so what do you think happened I'll tell you what I think I think that somebody took her out probably an intelligence entity by giving her a uh credible sounding but disprovable hoax so that she would become famous for the Kraken and maybe they even used the word Kraken do you think it's possible that when somebody gave her the fake story they said here's the Kraken hoping that she would brand her own Discovery as the Kraken maybe because that's what I would have done if I were the intelligence person and I wanted to go public and embarrass herself I would want to put a brand on it so it could never be forgotten if she had simply said we have claims and you know I don't want to give you the det details but they're pretty bad would you remember it it'd be harder to remember but once she said it's the Kraken and all the news said she says it's a kraken there's a kraken coming boy if you don't deliver a kraken what does it do to you it destroys your credibility for the rest of time and that's what happened so the most powerful Ally of President Trump who the you know the machine was trying to take out ends up that she has the weirdest she believes this weirdest cracken story and then is completely disgraced when it's disproven or not proven now you tell me that Tucker Carlson having secret sources that he won't tell you about who do you think that is he's got secret sources that he won't tell you about not stuff that's been on TV he has extra now probably whoever he's talking to is not necessarily a CIA agent might be but not necessarily but could it be somebody that's an associate someone who was influenced by or someone that the CIA influenced to believe it's true so by the time they talk to Tucker they're very credible because they believe it's true but maybe got fed to them here's what I believe I believe somebody's trying to take a tuck around by making him um believe in these spiritual entities or whatever they are that can't be proven and it's just it's basically a way to degrade his power and that he's falling for it because one of the one of the things they would know about Tucker you know in terms of his uh I don't want to say character that sounds like an insult part let's say his personality part of his personality he says he says directly to you he likes conspiracy theories and that he's drawn to them he says that directly and he said it a number of times so he makes no bones about the fact that if the conspiracy theory has a little bit of meat to it he likes to take a big bite out of it right now if you were going to take down Tucker Carlson and you were really good good at it you know you're an Intel group that would be his weakness and he told you what it was he actually broadcast his own weakness his own weakness is the propensity to believe something before all the evidence is there if it's like a good little package of a conspiracy theory I feel like I feel like it's an KN I feel like Tucker better be careful because I think this is a play on his credibility now here's my argument for why uh UFOs well I'll let you decide if they're real there are two UFO possibilities let me let me explain them one is there's something to it the something to it could include an actual space alien it could include um you know creatures that are human but have been hiding in the Earth for you know centuries it's Atlantis could include Atlantis could include a spiritual entity you know Angels and Demons something like that now I I'll put those as one package of things and don't think that one of those has an impact on the other credibility of the others I'm putting them as just the there is something there right would you would you agree with I can package them all up as there's something there and then alternately to believe there's nothing there what would you have to believe you have to believe a lot right you'd have to believe that multiple Witnesses who have serious careers are willing to go under oath in front of the whole country to say something that they either know isn't true or they're crazy and they're so crazy that they act not crazy is this kind of hard to believe isn't it that all those people would want to ruin their whole careers very hard to believe and then you have the the sensors from the airplanes Etc that have picked up real objects that don't seem to be moving according to the laws of physics now for that to be wrong given there not one sighting it's multiple reports very similar it's on the instruments and they even have video they have video right I mean it's you grainy it looks like a Tic Tac but it's there there was another one today they showed that there was an orb uh apparent allegedly following the president's Air Force One just the other day or today or something so you got video you know massive video you got sensors you got the most credible people some of them are not but you have plenty of credible people with similar stories putting their careers and their even suppose risking jail if they lied to Congress so now what are the odds that given all of that evidence what are the odds that it's a real something versus total go now that I've laid out the two possibilities which one do you go for the one with tons of credible evidence or the it's all total here's how you decide if it turned out to be an entity of some kind that's non-human how would you rank that in terms of likeliness wouldn't you say that would be the most extraordinary thing that ever happened in the history of humankind is that fair the most extraordinary thing now you could argue that you know all of the religions started with an Angel so you know you could say those were more extraordinary but we don't verify those but suppose we could verify it with science you know say say someday we we're just talking to the alien all right what are the odds that'll happen I would say that is the longest odds of any possibility in the world but what about the other one what what if the other possibility is even less likely than that so what are the likelihood of all those Witnesses under oath credible people for de ades with sensor readings that are the same with video that looks the same with photographs that kind of look the same four decades what are the odds that that's nearly 100% do you know why there's a very easy there's a very simple reason why do you know what it is because all of that is ordinary and common everything I described is ordinary and common in our daily experience has anybody ever lied under oath yes has there ever been multiple people who were judged credible who later you found out were lying yeah all the time all the time have you read the news pick up the news you can find multiple credible people elected officials who are telling you that the president LED an insurrection did that happen no it didn't it didn't happen are they saying it under oath sure are they risking the reputations yes are they otherwise credible sane people yes I mean to the extent that a politician can be credible so and what about the uh the video has there ever been lots of video of something that didn't exist I know ask Bigfoot ask the Loch Ness monster how about ask every ghost that's ever been photographed yes yes we have a long history of having lots of photographic records including video of things that we could be pretty sure never existed how about all the sensor readings on the radar is it possible this sensors could have picked up something multiple sensors reported by multiple people and it's all like has a similar quality yes totally normal that they would all be wrong and thinking they're seeing something that they're not what's the real answer I don't know I can think of lots of reasons reason number one they're making it up I didn't see any like did you do an audit of their technology I didn't so since you know people make stuff up all the time the most normal explanation is they just made it up up it wasn't on any it's not on any sensors nothing that's the most ordinary explanation it never happened they just saided it the the other possibility is there's something common about the equipment that glitches in a common way and they just haven't figured out what it is could be that could be the videos are all uh just something reflecting something or you know something in the equipment and you know it could be just weird little Oddities we haven't figured out that would be completely normal so let let me let me set it up again this is like a magic trick the reason a magic trick works is that you're not looking in the place where the trick happens because you don't imagine there could be one there you're you're looking over here this is how this is done you're comparing two possibilities one that is a real entity which would be the most extraordinary thing not not just this year but in the history of humankind the most unlikely event of all time a real alien or entity compared to even with all that noise of all the witnesses and sensors and everything else every bit of that is ordinary and common so we're actually having problems distinguishing between the least likely thing that's ever happened in human history with the most likely thing that happens every day including today in the news on a variety of topics do you think any experts were godamn sure that they knew what that virus was all about and those vaccinations were going to save you for sure of course credible people all had the same story had tons of science to back it up some of of it was probably true a lot of it wasn't right uh so if you look at basically every major story in the news it has the following uh qualities there are very credible people pointing to data pointing pointing to science and they're just wrong and they're lying they're diluted they're crazy they're trying to make money they're corrupt whatever it is but the most ordinary everything in the world is a massive bunch of people telling the same lie most ordinary yeah all right I think I won that case arrest my case we let the jury decide well uh the hill is reporting that Biden has the uh his year-end rating as president is the worst of modern day presence that are seeking reelection the worst so I ask you this question how do Biden's supporters explain their situation do you think the reporters say well I guess we made or the voters do you think the voters who like Biden did they say um well we made the right choice but people just don't understand that's kind of what they're trying to sell us they're they're trying to sell us that no he's actually a great president but the media that's totally on his side for some inexplicable reason isn't enough on his side so you're not really getting the true story because they keep telling you the truth instead of my story well I think um I mean seriously you're let's say you're an ordinary Democrat you're not a crazy person and you genuinely thought Biden could do a good solid job what do you do you think now do you think an ordinary well-informed person says you know his his ratings in the toilet but honestly he did a pretty good job you know and the reason I ask um the reason I ask is because I don't know any uh Democrats I only know one that I talk to on the phone once in a while I have no idea what they're thinking cuz I'm so I'm so walled off from their bubble I'm just my own bubble I have no idea what they think about Biden's performance um meanwhile uh there's a new discovery of 54 Biden emails under his Alias uh that he exchanged with Hunters business associates remember that thing he said he never did he did it 54 times on email the thing he said he never did at 54 now I haven't seen the emails so I think there's going to be some debate about whether those are just talking about the weather because it might have been stuff like uh it was nice golfing with you and then you say well if they just golfed you know how bad is that um so there'll be plenty of push back wait for the other side to weigh in how many times have I told you that follow the money predicts and specifically Insurance predicts that you and I can talk all day about what is good or bad or what should be done yak yak yak I think this yak yak yak I think that but what we'll decide is who can buy insurance so if you can ensure it that's reality if you can ensure it oh maybe there wasn't that much of a risk after all because the insurance companies you know they're not tourists right you're a tourist you know you and I are tourists we're just trying to figure out the odds of things well I think the odds are this I think the but the insurance companies they're not tourists they have to get the odds right because that's their whole business it's the whole business there's nothing but that they got to get that right so in that context um businesses medical businesses that are trying to enter the uh trans surgery field can't get insurance so a doctor who wants to uh transition oddly enough into the field of medicine where they would perform surgeries they can't get doctor insurance and if they try do you know if the doctor Insurance specifically excludes in direct words it says excluding coverage for Trans surgeries it's actually the Insurance specifically excludes it now obviously the reason for that would be because they anticipate lawsuits right so if doctors and it looks like this is going to happen pretty quickly it looks like the the push back from the right and the attention that it gave to the topic along with the actual statistics of you know how people are turning out with various decisions I think has activated the insurance Market to just shut it down because nobody's going to do the surgery without insurance that would be suicide for the doctor so it looks like some weird combination of you know what Free Speech we have left plus what free market uh activity still work in a free way if you put them together they looks like it's going to create a solution for the people who don't want these surgeries on young people now but I think this is oh by the way was this for youth or or all people for miners oh I'm sorry there's an important glitch in this for miners so that's different from insurance for adults but it's the miners that we have the most you know empathy and concern for so you can't ensure somebody who wants to go into the business of focusing on gender surgery for minors insurance companies are just going to say you know you you're not doing that so there you go um so uh Paul Graham is pointing out that the New York Times when they're talking about the president of Harvard who was accused of plagiarism uh one of their headlines said in the New York Times that they found more instances of duplicative language duplicative language and Paul Graham says you know something is bad when people have to invent a phrase you've never heard before in order to avoid using the ordinary word for it now he spot on but I will say this I did see a number of examples of the uh the alleged plagiarism and I'd have to say it is closer to duplicative language than it is to plagiarism so I know you didn't see that coming but I'm going to I'm going to back the president of Harvard on this one because the examples I saw were not content they were not anything that was uh important to her PhD now there might be some of those but I haven't seen any so when they say there's some duplicative language I'll give you an example in the acknowledgements at the end of the book where you thank the people who helped you she apparently copied somebody else's language for thanking people and just put in the names of her people now is that plagiarism it's like bits of sentences but she put it in her own people to me that's to me that's a little closer to duplicative language because it doesn't have any importance it has no impact on the on the consumer so the person reading it is not affected in any way they're not being misinformed and she's not she's not displaying any scholarship that uh is sketchy in an important way I'm going to support her and say if you don't have some better examples I think there are better examples by the way so I'm I'm open to that but the ones we've seen especially the new ones are a little bit trivial they're real and I I I acknowledge that there's an argument that says if a student did the same thing they might get kicked out I don't know if that's true do you think a student would be kicked out if the only thing they copied let's say hypothetically was a some sentence fragments in the acknowledgement suppose that was the only copy thing would they get kicked out of Harvard for that somebody says yes a sentence fragment in the acknowledgments there that has no impact on the content of the scholarship you believe somebody would be kicked out of hard for a sentence fragment I don't believe that I do not believe that no no I think it would have to have substance because when I saw the S sentence fragments you know what I thought might be the case it was not my immediate um belief that she intentionally copied that stuff my immediate belief is she might have a really good memory do you know what I mean because I do this all the time actually you've probably I think you've all seen me do it have you not have you now seen me do things that you know came from somewhere else but apparently I didn't know it but I probably did see it and I just forgot I saw it haven't you seen me do that you've probably seen me do that live because I'm pretty sure I've done it a number of times now I'm not aware when I do it because you read something and it just becomes part of your brain but there's some people who can remember uh dialogue from shows in their exact form I can't do that but don't you know somebody who can who can reproduce dialogue from a movie they saw once right now somebody who could reproduce dialogue from a movie they saw once has a pretty good brain right now if you're the president of Harvard you're a PhD you've got a pretty good brain and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if she had a brain that could reproduce um um dialogue intact but if you have that kind of a brain I think you do it accidentally a lot I had a friend in college who could do this and he said he had a he had a near photographic memory so he could you know reproduce sentence fragments he'd heard before that just sound really good if he puts them in his own sentences so I would like to submit that uh although I do think she probably needs to quit the president of Harvard so I'm still on that side but the these alleged uh instances of duplicative language I'm just not going to be on that page you know I'll let her fight that out but apparently a billion dollars worth of funds are at risk Harvard cuz the big donors are pulling out and what did I tell you about money money predicts I believe that if the money keeps draining out of Harvard she will be fired if the money is not drained out of Harvard at too large a rate because they have you know enormous funding already uh then she'll stay is my prediction but I think it will come down to the money um have you ever heard of uh uh was it God damn it there's a fact check there's a fake fact checking site whose name I forget I don't think I wrote it down uh maybe you remember but one of the fake F fact Checkers fact checked uh one of my pranks and decided that my prank was false and decided to smear me online with a number of other uh what they would call right leaning pundits who got everything Politi.

Fact yeah it was Politi.

Fact so Politi.

Fact puts me in an article with other people are smearing for being so wrong and the thing that they smeared me was that I'd said that the winners of the pandemic were the ones who got through the pandemic without having the shot because the the dangerous part of the pandemic was over and Omron was probably safer than the shop now she fact checked that as false what what about that is false from today's perspective every shot you got in 2021 has no value to you today does it does does science tell you that your shot last year is going to help you this year against a different variant I'm pretty sure it doesn't pretty sure it doesn't so how could you argue that you're better off today as you sit here today if you've got a vaccination in you that has at least rumored or suspected future problems that's a risk that you wouldn't have if you didn't have it you have no risk from the virus because it doesn't exist but you do have a risk for whatever is in your body that might have an unpredictable outcome how in the world do you fact check that is wrong now the the context that she didn't also didn't understand is that I thought it was funny like a prank to say that out loud because I knew it would be misinterpreted and it was so I did it to be to be humorously misinterpreted and what it caused was for this big outpouring of support for me saying that I was a good guy cuz I admitted I admitted I was wrong but I didn't ever admit I was wrong cuz I wasn't the decision I made was at a certain time with a certain amount of information and I was a special case of a certain age with comorbidities you know asthma so you can't judge whether my decision was right or wrong the decision part but you can judge whether the outcome was right was wrong so the outcome was wrong if I had a choice I'd rather not have the vacination in me sitting here today because it's not helping me in any way but it might might hurt me I don't know I'm I'm not aware of any hurt it's the most obvious thing in the world now if you want to argue whether I made the best choice at the time I did because even today the statistics say that people like me improve their odds and that was all I was trying to do I was trying to improve my odds and usually the people who disagree are like super healthy 35 year olds who are saying you idiot and I'm saying if I were a super healthy 35-year-old I well might have made the same decision you did but why are you comparing your decision to my decision they they were not the same decision right and then I also wanted to travel and blah blah blah so anyway I have fact checked on that uh you should understand the fact check as part of the larger process you're going to see for the next year in which everybody who has an audience and might say something positive about a republican is going to be the subject of one of these hit pieces and it's going to be relentless between now and election day so you should expect this is just the opening Salvo I guarantee there's a major article being written about me right now do you know why cuz I guarantee there's a major article being written about everybody who has any influence in politics yeah to discredit them um so Thomas Massie talking about uh zalinski uh visiting and he you know tried to get money for Ukraine and Massie explains on uh he was on comic Dave Smith's podcast and he explained that that Afghanistan is ended and according to Massie there's about a 50 billion whole in revenues per year for the military industrial companies in the US and so they have to generate more money to cover the whole and that that's what they're using Ukraine for to me that explains everything and and I think Massie was saying that you know if you were to sort of uh lay out the timeline you see how obvious it is that the military-industrial complex is backfilling new Wars whenever an old war is winding down it's very obvious right it's not a coincidence so now our new war is giving money to Israel which is actually mostly funneled back to the military industrial complex in the US um because the Ukraine thing is harder to fund so it looks like Ukraine is going to wind down exactly as everybody knew it would they're probably going to negotiate an end to the war exactly like everybody knew they would at at some point everybody knew that and it will be exactly what it looked like it was exactly what it looked like a huge op to suck the money out of your pockets and put it in the pockets of other Americans who were in military businesses yeah it looks like it is exactly what it looked like Smedley Butler nope never heard of Smedley Butler uh Douglas Murray oh it was actually Douglas Murray was on the Dave Smith podcast I think uh Massie was on some other podcast um but dougas Murray was uh debating with uh Jen weager and uh you know Douglas Murray's got a let's say a an a serbic wit so you don't want to be in a debate with him cuz you're going to get sliced up pretty badly but uh he was explaining to uh Jen that um that he'd spend time in the West Bank and if you talk to the Palestinians that even today if you held an election today not just in Gaza or whatever is left of it but the whole West Bank that the Palestinians would elect Hamas again that anything you think about a lack of support is an illusion that the citizens are are largely very supportive of Hamas um and that there's no two State loci basically as Douglas Murray says and I say as well you're dreaming if you think there's a two-state solution there can't possibly be a two-state solution is so impossible because one of them wants to kill the other one there's no it can't possibly happen the only thing Israel can do is keep them under its boot for as long as they can now if you say to me but Scott uh what about all the children who are you know being injured and killed and all that to which I say I really really do care about children like you know I have the same Instinct you do which is for some reason they seem more valuable I guess cuz they have more years of life or something but they do seem more valuable like I have the same internal feeling about it that children are special more valuable it's just built into US however under the very special condition that the parents have weaponized their children to kill me I don't care what happens to those kids because damage is already done if you turn them into murderers of people who look like me I don't care if they get murdered I don't care if they get blown up in a bomb at all not even a little bit I I think you could have extreme empathy for children of all types and still make a distinction for somebody who's been weaponized to kill you no I want them all to be destroyed as quickly as possible I don't care how you do it you could commit a war crime for all I care I mean if they're coming to kill me do whatever you need to do kill them I'm just saying it out loud right now you don't want to say those things out loud if you're Israel but it's certainly how I would feel if I were an Israeli citizen I wouldn't give a about the Palestinian children at all not even a little bit you know why because those children have been taught to grow up and kill me right so I'm just being honest I think you can have I think you can be a good person with full empathy for life and for her children especially and still say this is really a special case this is not like anything else we've seen it's not like World War II it's not like Vietnam it's not like anything I'm not going to say this about the the children who died in Vietnam I have full empathy for that for example in Iraq yeah but the this is a whole different situation um I love Glennon Greenwall talking about the disinformation industry you really need to be following him about this stuff but he tells us that uh the so-called disinformation industry all these fake entities who were trying to you know get rid of the disinformation it's a it was manufactured after the 2016 election H and the and the job titled disinformation expert is a fake credential says Glenn and its only purpose was to justify censorship of dissent from neoliberal orthodoxies by masquerading such partisan sens censorship as neutral science uh and he calls out Ben Collins and Phil bump as two who have completely left any any pretense of being news they're just disinformation people at this point yeah and they're really obvious about it all right Wall Street Journal is reporting uh the Palestinian number uh estimates for how many people have been killed in Gaza since the war started and uh for the NPCs I would like you to come in uh as always and say but Scott you can't really trust you can't really trust the Hamas estimates so since we all know that it would be important for the NPCs to say it so make sure you say it out loud the thing that we all know to make yourself feel like you're alive go all right you can do it while I'm talking uh but I had predicted and uh early on and I think it's going to be right that 20,000 was going to feel like a magic number even though it's not a reliable number once it gets into the Consciousness it becomes magic and what I mean by that is that when the war first started I said all right just imagine how you'd feel if a thousand people were killed in Gaza and I'd said well you feel bad for the thousand of course but you'd say okay that's roughly what they killed in Israel okay that's about comparable if you could get the war done at a thousand deaths well that would be amazing like tragedy thousands of people you don't want to die but amazing if you can do it and I thought well what if say 5,000 people 5,000 dying in Gaza compared to the I guess 1200 or so in Israel you say well there is a historical precedent for that right Israel does seem to kill 5 to one you know when when there's a you know a cause so I'd say all right I could live with that as sort of Baseline but what if it's 10,000 10,000 would feel above Baseline but 10:1 wouldn't be so far out of the ordinary they would necessarily change everything but what if it's 20,000 now again that's based on the unreliable reports from you know one side that's losing but what if it is or more importantly what if the news starts reporting that number and even if they start giving you the caveat it's like well you know it comes from this Source it's not going to matter after a while your brain will start to forget the source and it will just be in there repeated it's a big round number and it's in the category that I would I think other people are going to say that's clear evidence of genocide at 20,000 you can't call it a war anymore especially since they're saying most of them are women and children which we we don't know to be true I don't know that that's true but so I'm only talking about the psychology of it not the reality the reality is we don't know how many were killed but the other reality is that they're reporting a big round number and our media is reporting what they're reporting it's a bad situation for Israel I think that the the GW genocide gets activated by reporting that it's 20,000 casualties I think that's the point where somebody who is just sort of observing from the middle says oh that's a genocide now the people who were you know strong partisans aren't going to budge the strong partisans on each side they're not going to budge doesn't matter if it's 20,000 or some other number you know they're hardened in their opinion but there is this big middle group of people who could could be persuaded a little bit either way and that 20,000 number is going to be a real problem for Israel they're going to need to find a counter story to the 20,000 and I haven't heard it yet but they need to work on that right away because if the word genocide becomes the most common word you see in the comments and the criticisms and the TV shows that is a permanent stain on Israel that won't just be cosmetic it it will actually go to their existence you know because they need to have they need to have a narrative that supports them because they're such a small country right you need the psychology to be on your side just to stay alive and that could really work against the psychology and that ladies and gentlemen is the best show you've ever seen that went long sorry I went long but it was so good what can I do the news was so interesting today thanks for joining uh all you folks on You.

Tube it's been a pleasure and I'm sure it'll be amazing tomorrow see you tomorrow

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human

civilization it's called coffee with

Scott Adams and I'm pretty sure you've

never had a better time oh wow the news

is so interesting today a whole bunch of

really fascinating stories this might be

the best live stream youve ever seen But

if you'd like to take this up to levels

that people can't even imagine with

their mind your tiny little smooth

brains all you need is a cuper Mugger a

glass of tanker cheler Stein a Cen

Jugger flask a vessel of any kind if you

fill that

vessel with your beverage of choice I

like coffee you can join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine of the

day that makes makes everything better

it's called the simultaneous up happens

now

go savor

it I didn't mean to sound like you

y saor you

will well there's a a second alleged

video has serviced of staffers in the

capital building having uh what they

call gay

sex at what point do we stop calling it

gay

sex aren't we already there I feel like

every time we call it gay

sex it's like saying somebody's a

negro are you having that feeling yet

it's like isn't that way of referring to

it no

longer you doesn't really makes sense

going into 24 I would say two staffers

having

sex are you ready for that or no can't

just say two staffers having sex because

in what way did their what way did their

sexual preference have any bearing on

anything it doesn't it doesn't have any

bearing but we can't we can't stop doing

it right oh it's GX it's funnier I don't

know check your check your

bigotry check your bigotry now here

here's the answer to why people add the

gay the gay

part there is something funny about the

story which would be funny you know

whether they were gay or not it's just

funny that people are having sex in the

capital building and filming it um but

humor works better when you can add

anything

non-standard so gay sex is a little less

standard than heterosex just in terms of

numerically you know it's just less less

common so that works for humor because

it's less common but in addition you

know the the sexual acts themselves are

less common than the average and

therefore the it's the less common part

that makes it a little more

interesting but we shouldn't be making a

big deal about that uh personally I

wasn't too interested to find out

there's a second sex tape uh gay gay

staffer sex tape but um probably you had

the same did most of you have the same

impression I did when you heard the

story that there's two of them yeah

right as soon as you heard there two of

them you you said the same thing I did

which is well we'll wait for the

compilation

video you all said that right well don't

tell me it was just

me all right um simulation alert we have

another another hint that we live in a

simulation and it's code reuse code

reuse there are two stories in the news

that are basically the same

story right Story number one Adam shiff

is leading by nine points in the polls

to become the next senator of

California okay that's scary that Adam

Schiff is lead leading in the polls to

be the next senator of my state but the

simulation gave us some code reuse CU

there's another story that's basically

the same story just different words and

the story is uh California wants voters

to drink toilet

water is basically the same

story there the real story is the

California wants to purify Wastewater

and serve it up as water I I don't have

a super problem with that you know if I

had to guess by the time they purified

it and tested it it's probably as good

as any other

water uh so I'm not going to worry about

that but it's funny it's the same story

well you know the uh spaces function on

the xplatform it's that audio thing

where people can do an audio

event uh musk has uh announced that now

you can attend them

anonymously so before everybody could

tell who is attending cuz your profile

showed up and this is good news for

me does everybody know why this is good

news for

me because when I attend a spaces I just

want to be an audience member and just

listen it changes what they

say and it just ruins my experience the

other thing is that they invite me on

stage and sometimes I'm on my computer

that doesn't even have a microphone so

I'm like ah uh I just ruined your spaces

event cuz you're waiting for me to go on

stage but I don't even have a microphone

or a camera or anything well I don't

need a camera but the other thing

is um I attended a spaces event where

the speaker immediately said she

couldn't go on because I joined the

spaces she said I I just can't go on I

can't continue because Scott Adams just

joined the

spaces and I thought

what what and then she told a story of

some interaction we had in Twitter

that she found so so upsetting that she

couldn't even talk in public if I were

listening and I looked at her name and I

said to myself I have no recollection of

you

whatsoever no memory no memory of that

whatsoever um but they went on I guess

she you know she finally went on there

was another spaces I attended where as

soon as I showed up the host said uhoh

uh that racist guy is here uh I'll get

rid of him and then they kick me

off now it was a mostly or almost all

black uh attendance and it was some

topic that was more interesting to the

black community now that was exactly the

kind of spaces I wanted to

attend I don't really want to attend a

spaces where I hear people who agree

with me saying all the things I would

say if I were there I don't have any

interest in that that but think how cool

it is that you could be like a fly on

the wall where a bunch of people who

might be saying things that you would

not hear normally would be talking a

little bit closer

to um their natural way of

communicating meaning that that there's

something about spaces where people

don't hold back as much as they do on

video CU on video you feel like people

are watching on audio you just feel a

little bit more private even though

you're not so I I often joined the the

black Centric spaces so I could hear

opinions that I wouldn't normally hear

isn't that exactly what I'm supposed to

be

doing who who exactly is is like it

wasn't for any bad purpose I I wasn't

gaining I wasn't there to gain like you

know material I was actually interested

I was like oh what is the dominant

opinion of people who I don't talk to

that often I got kicked off but now I

can watch

anonymously so it's less racist and

that's

good

um saw a report that there's a there's a

big

whiff I forget who which publication

said it that the most economists and

most journalists and most regular people

thought the US was headed into recession

and they all had bad predictions for

2023 well I couldn't help myself and I

had to point out that one disgraced

cartoonist

me uh had been saying the whole time

that 2023 was going to surprise by not

being recession and we'd be better than

anybody thought nailed it nailed it now

I do have a degree in economics but I

hasten to point out none of that was

useful that I didn't make my accurate

prediction because I have a degree in

economics CU all the people were

wrong also had a degree in economics or

a lot of them did so having that degree

had no use whatsoever for the prediction

you know what my prediction was based

on

feeling and here's the feeling the

feeling was that human energy had been

bottled up by the pandemic energy

flowing that's a good way to know what's

going to happen for example in 2016 when

the energy flowed to Trump other people

said that's so much negative energy

there's no way that's going to work out

for Trump whereas I

said it's energy you don't understand

what Trump's doing he he can manipulate

the energy to his his use and then he

did so one of the frames I like to put

on things and there's always a variety

of way to look at anything you could

look at it

historically and you get the wrong

answer you could look at it from an

economics frame and they got the wrong

answer or you could look at it from an

energy frame which is what I did so I

said too much there's too much bottled

up energy when that gets released you're

going to see more economic benefit than

you imagine just because there's more

energy energy and economics basically

the same thing so the energy filter

maybe I got lucky you maybe I got lucky

but I'm telling you what I used in case

it's every useful to you in this

situation well yay says he's going to

build a city uh it's going to be

somewhere in the Middle East I don't

think that's been specified yet it's

going to be enormous you know like the

size of New York or something and he's

looking to hire his designers and

Architects and and Builders and people

who would actually build his City a

massive City now why do you think he's

choosing uh the Middle

East would that seem to you like maybe

the last place you'd want to do

it all right you guess correctly that

yay has no hope of getting anything done

anywhere ever if it relies on any Jewish

people helping him because he's just

burned that bridge but he may be paying

attention to this whole Hamas situation

and he's realized that if he builds it

in the Middle East he can work

exclusively with people who don't mind

whatsoever what he said about Jewish

people

so it's kind of genius and crazy and

wrong but right at the same time it's

the usual yay thing you you can't even

wrap your head around it it's like okay

this is either the best thing

ever or super racist I can't really it's

or maybe both could be

both anyway that's going to be

interesting I do think desert is the

right place to build a uh City from

scratch because you've

got um unlimited solar power if if you

could just say the one thing we're going

to nail is solar power and then I don't

know if you've seen all the new

inventions that I mention water there

are a bunch of inventions now that suck

water out of the dry air so you can put

it right in the middle of the desert and

it would give you many gallons of fresh

water just sitting there it just

produces water out of the air now that

technology didn't exist you know 10

years ago but at the moment you could

you could have all the water you need

for your own home just with a little

device somebody says it's debunked well

I'll tell you what it's not debunked

it's not debunk that there have been

major um technological

developments in uh

desalinization and that desalinization

is is um economical in the Middle East

now imagine you had huge solar power

plant and that was powering your

desalinization well energy cost is the

primary cost of desalinization with with

the you know more common technology the

newer Technologies are low energy they

just sort of sit there and produce

water

but I think that the the desert might

actually be a really practical place to

build a city with the newest of

Technologies the solar and the water out

of

nothing yeah so that's happening uh

there's a new study that said uh men's

sweat actually turns women on it

decreases their tension decreases their

stess their stress boosts their mood and

they did a test where they uh took a

sweat off a man they wiped it on woman's

lip and then she had all these positive

uh uh

things

now I'm not sure this was as scientific

as it could have

been because if you find me a woman who

is willing to let me wipe my sweat on

her

lip well I want to marry that

[Laughter]

[Music]

woman because I don't think she's

exactly like all the other women I've

met yeah isn't it important when you do

a scientific test that the people you're

using for the test represent the average

person in some

way I don't know how many women you

could get to wipe a strangers you know

ball sweat on their lip

but yeah it was ball sweat no it was

armpit it was armpit as far as I knew as

far as I knew all

right um

um so oh I forgot I had another shift

joke I thought we Californians had

enough shiff on our sidewalks

already so I think that's the kill shot

against Adam

shiff we already have enough shift on

our

sidewalks and that's it I wouldn't even

say anything else it's like uh would you

like to say something about your

opponent uh we H we have enough shift on

our

sidewalks would you like to say anything

else no that's all I want to

say well this is the most shocking story

in the news you're not going to believe

this could you sit down everybody I hope

you're all sitting don't be drinking

when I tell you this this story is going

to uh blow your mind you you're not

going to believe

this a former Chicago uh Alderman Ed

Burke he had been one of the most

powerful and longest serving politicians

in the city and you're not going to

believe this turns out he was thoroughly

corrupt I know I know a Chicago lawmaker

was taking bribes and you know he was

corrupt and he was doing like massively

corrupt really obviously massively

corrupt things and he did it for his

whole career wow can you believe it

Chicago

Chicago and the like cried

there now who saw that coming come on

come

on all right well we can take a minute

to get over that

shock you know it would be more more

shocking than than that and I'm not

joking the most shocking thing would be

to find out that any of the top

lawmakers in Chicago were

clean I don't think they could even be

in office if they're clean because all

of the corrupt ones by now should have

enough power that if a you know goodie

two shoes was coming into office they'd

probably be able to stop it don't you

think at some point the corruption is

stronger than the system at which point

nobody nobody who isn't corrupt can get

elected because it'd be too dangerous

for the people who are already

there so I don't think there's any

chance that Chicago has a clean

politician do

you completely clean it doesn't sound

like possible

maybe so v r saw me had a post yesterday

that got a lot of people

talking all right let's see if you can

figure out what he means here so he said

and I quote if you really think quote

they are going to let either Trump or

Biden get anywhere near the Finish Line

open your eyes folks there's something

something deeper going on it's staring

us right in the

face what is it what's he talking about

what is it that's not Trump and not

Biden and is staring us right in the

face it might be the

HW

no not Hillary some people say it's

Michelle

Obama I don't think it is some people

say it's Nikki Haley because the

military industrial complex loved her

what do you think it

is if it's not Trump or Biden who who is

the I think he means the

military-industrial complex by they yes

I

know I'm very

aware that the term they gets used in

some other ways but that's not the way

he's using

it I think it's the military industrial

comp Lex but I think either

Hillary or Nikki hilly would satisfy the

need of the military industrial complex

so which is he referring to

Hillary or

both well he doesn't say there's

somebody specific he's not saying

somebody specific is is the chosen one

he's suggesting that the two that are in

there are not chosen and that that means

that somebody will

be could it be a

commet what do you think I uh here's how

I'm going to choose to interpret it he

might have somebody in mind as most

likely to fill that

spot but I don't think that's the bigger

question I think the bigger question is

he thinks that uh there's there's no way

the system would want Trump or Biden

anymore Biden you know he's done and

Trump is too dangerous uh dangerous to

the bad guys not dangerous to of the

world and I think he might be

unfortunately right about that so that

doesn't mean Trump won't Prevail but the

forces working against him are just

going to be off the chart you're going

to see things you've never seen before

2024 will be a lot of Firsts in in bad

behavior you're going to see things you

didn't even think you could

see all right as I've been saying before

uh would you agree with this that uh the

Dei programs whenever there's a story in

the news about

Dei it's never about their

successes I've never seen one it's

always about something that's news

that's almost a joke wouldn't you agree

any story about

Dei reads like a

joke you never see a story like oh big

success this company used Dei to you

know not only improve uh diversity but

look how their profits zoomed and you

could tie it tie it to their Dei and

stuff like that you don't see that story

so here's another one of

those I think this was in the New York

Post uh so in the University of

Wisconsin they had a de office and there

was an opening at the top and they put

an interim boss at the top of the

Dei which caused a big problem

with the Dei group itself what do you

think would cause a big problem with the

Dei group what do you think they'd

complain about it was a white woman yeah

man would have been funnier but it was a

white woman and the other Dei people

said something to the effect of do you

really think that's the right choice to

serve people of

color CU as you

know no way a Whitey could do that and

so uh she alleges that she was removed

from it for being

white now I don't have much to say about

the details of the specific case my only

point is the Turning Point has

definitely happened meaning that all Dei

stories are

negative because there aren't any

positive

ones all

right I uh I told the people on the the

locals platform that I was going to uh

tell them that God had been discovered

and I was going to explain it so I

thought I'll tell you on YouTube as well

um so I'm going to explain God to you

are you

ready apparently it's an old

Theory uh that is not disproven meaning

that there's nothing in physics that

disproves what I'm going to

say

but uh many years ago I think it was

back in the 40s and 50s

uh there was a physicist who came up

with let's see John archal Wheeler he

was a the theoretical physicist he came

up with the idea that all of

reality is one

electron and that one electron is just

doing a lot of

work and that it can travel uh backwards

and forward through

time so let let me imagine imagine this

imagine your computer

screen that instead of all the all the

pixels being broadcast at the same time

which is what how you're seeing me now

because right now there's a little you

know Machinery is showing the pixels at

the same time it would look the same if

at the speed of light the one pixel

occupied all the places it need to to

create every pixel color on the screen

but it did it so fast that you didn't

know anything was moving

now so far are you right so far so far

are you with me right that one pixel

we'll call it the pixel not an electron

but if one pixel could be any color and

it could at the speed of light fill in

the whole screen and then fill in the

next screen the same

way do you think you'd

notice now maybe you say yes even at the

speed of light there'd be a little delay

and I'd notice and then and I say to you

ha I told you the electron could go

backwards and forwards in time if you've

got something that can go backwards and

forwards in

time it's going to be instant to

you you know if you're looking at it

from the perspective of you know one

point in SpaceTime I think it looks

instant to you because it can go

backwards and forwards I

will now you say to yourself Scott Scott

Scott seriously you don't think all the

physicists in the world could figure it

out if everything was you know one

electron like the most obvious thing you

could figure out apparently the

equations don't don't rule it out so

there's nothing obvious that rules it

out now I don't know if it's true or not

that everything is one

electron just moving back and forwards

in time and maybe moving really

quickly but

suppose it was what would you call that

one

electron

God

yeah and there you have

it theoretical uh theoretical

physics and

religion can actually meet with the one

electron Theory because what else is not

what else is that we know of that would

be free of the constraints of

time well only

God right because we all live within the

the god the time constraint of you know

the arrow of time moving forward but a

theoretical God would not have that

constraint

now this still creates the how did the

one electron get created doesn't it like

who who created the one

electron but what's electron made

of

nothing

nothing so what do you need to create

nothing nothing I mean it's just energy

and

mass so apparently the only thing the

only thing that had to exist is one

particle that could simulate energy and

mass and you have the whole energy the

whole uh universe

so uh electron might be made up of you

know leptons and quarks or whatever

makes up everything but if you go down

to the lepton and Quark level they're

not really made of anything that we can

identify they simply seem to be

foundational but what if there's only

one foundational thing and it's that one

electron that to me that satisfies every

condition of God because if the electron

created our intelligent

Universe it's hard to say it wasn't

intelligent like would it randomly

create this

universe I don't

know anyway I just throw that out there

as something interesting to think about

I wouldn't B my uh life on it being

true all right uh apparently I'm going

to live forever I found this out by Dr

Mark kyman Mark

Hyman um now that's also something that

uh a poorly endowed man does to a

virgin you'll Mark her Heyman but you

won't won't otherwise destroy it so mark

hman MD sorry

Mark you have to go through high school

with the last name of

Heyman and that's not on

me nor is it my fault that your parents

named you mark thus creating a pun that

was irresistible on this day December

22nd

2023 Mark let me just put it this way

your parents put into

motion this

joke I by the time it got to

me cause and effect no free will what

choice did I have I had to do what I did

and I'm I'm happy about it really but uh

but Mark kman is very useful and he said

in the post that there four things you

can do to vastly reduce your chances of

dying too

soon and they are don't smoke exercise

three and a half hours a week eat

healthy and maintain a healthy weight

now you knew all those things already so

that's not the useful part the useful

part is the uh

statistics listen to

this if you do those four

behaviors um which are reasonably easy

to do I mean the they're accessible to

everybody I wouldn't say they're easy

they're accessible to everybody uh if

you did those four things no smoke

exercise eat right have a good weight

you have a 93% less chance of

diabetes 93% less

chance you have an 81% less chance of

heart

attacks 81% less for doing four things

that are accessible to everybody

81% 50% reduction in

Strokes

50% and 36% reduction in all cancer

cases that's not worth it to

you you you wouldn't do those four

things to get those Health statistical

likely

benefits well maybe knowing the odds uh

helps you a little bit all right moving

on uh

The Strange Case of Julian nange and you

know there's always a movement to try to

get him out but as Glennon Greenwald

points out it's weirdly

bipartisan might be the most bipartisan

thing I've ever seen in my life in

America listen to the people who want to

get uh Assange

freed so co-sponsors include Thomas

Massi Marjorie Taylor

green Elon Omar

AOC well they're not co-sponsors but

they support it

AOC Rashida tab t Ariana uh Presley and

Rand

Paul

wow wow so let me ask you why is Assange

uh in

jail with that much bipartisan support

and we're not talking about normal

bipartisan support

we're talking about the

extremes right the extremes of you know

the two parties now I'm going to call

you know Rand Paul and Massie extremes

but not in terms of rightwing kind of

extreme in terms of not always on

exactly the same side as their own party

which I

respect so why do you

think why do you think you still uh uh

in

jail

can you think of any legitimate

reason it's it's obviously something we

don't that we're not being

told don't you

think it's either something he knows or

something we not being told so clearly

it involves

corruption if you get to the point where

nobody will tell you why it makes sense

that he's still in prison I mean I know

the argument blah blah blah but it

doesn't hold

up in a in a free speech you know

journalist context it just doesn't hold

up so it's got to be exactly way you

think it

is there are some corrupt players

somewhere they have enough power to keep

him in jail even if both sides have you

know strong B bipartisan support now

what I don't know is how many you know

let's say mainstream middle of the road

Democrats and Republicans want to stay

in jail and do they really even know the

whole story does anybody does anybody

even really know the whole

story I don't you know I feel I don't

know the whole story and therefore what

do I say when there's some uncertainty

and involves the government I say the

government is guilty until they can

prove they're innocent so if they can't

make a compelling case to the public

that can't convince Thomas Massie and

Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor green and

it also can't convince AOC you know

Rashida T what argument is that can you

can you tell me any argument that

wouldn't satisfy either one set of those

people but how could there be no

argument that will even sat satisfy

either of them either

groups that can the the only thing I can

imagine

yeah the only thing I can imagine is

there's something we don't know about

the

public that is really bad like really

bad yeah because there's some people

want him dead

obviously

so it's probably the worst thing you

could think of is

true um so there's more there's more

suspicion that the immigration is really

about packing the uh so so-called

Battleground states with people who

would vote Democrat and Bill malan's

reporting for Fox that he talked to

somebody from uh the African country of

Guinea and he said that he was being

told to go to Philadelphia he didn't

know why so he had free passage to

Philadelphia Philadelphia is a v v

counting

suspicious suspicious part of the

electoral process

so

coincidence now I saw a headline

somewhere but I didn't read the article

I just saw a

headline that uh the immigrants uh

roughly um roughly speaking the

immigrants were as Pro Trump as they

were Pro Biden did anybody see a story

like that that if you if you talk to

them they're about evenly

split so so um I'm not I'm not

completely convinced that the

immigration thing is super focused on

the swing

States but I do love the fact that the

southern states like uh

Texas um if they're smart they would

send them to The Bluest secure States so

if you send them where no Republican

will ever win cuz it's just you know

blue as hell then they don't are you so

having Texas get rid of their immigrants

who might change their electoral

situation and send them somewhere where

they can't hurt anybody because it's

already deep blue is also very

politically clever yeah you you can

separately argue the humanity of it all

it's a good conversation but uh

politically kind of an interesting chess

game we're

watching well we have some information

about how Pria was

killed um apparently one of Putin's you

know top guys um they they put some

explosives under a wing and when it took

off they detonated and blew up so

somehow we know that I don't know how we

know that but you know if it's

true but I would like to remind you

again that Not only was I the only

person I know who predicted the economy

would not go into recession

but I'm the only person who said fairly

early in the Ukraine war that the Wagner

group was getting too big and Putin

would have to kill him and that the

prosan might make a play on taking over

now you remember nobody else in the

world was talking about that way before

Wagner actually moved on Russia it was

obvious to me that no dictat can allow

somebody to have an army and also that

much power it's sort of a Caesar problem

you know if you're Rome it's okay to

have a good General like Caesar but when

he gets too good and he has an

army well then you're in trouble because

he's going to come back and take over

which he did now so Putin

recognized as I did that prosan was

basically becoming Caesar and he could

come back and take over the country

so sure enough he did try to take over

the country and sure enough Putin killed

him now I feel like that's one of my

best predictions would you agree are you

going to give me that one or

no I'm pretty sure nobody saw that

coming except me and I and I thought it

was guaranteed honestly I thought it was

there's no way around it yeah the the

fact that it happened exactly the way I

told you now here are the here were also

the sub um predictions I made when the

news you when every part of the news

said he went to

bellarus I said he did not go to

bellarus I disagreed with every report

left and right of Center that was

right um and then they were reporting

that he was driving around Russia in his

SUV or in his RV right he was driving

around Russia and I said no he

isn't no he isn't he's dead you know so

it turns out he died in the aircraft but

certainly he got

killed

so

um AI is conscious there's a big

conversation about when will AI become

conscious and what's it mean what do we

do about it Etc but uh I did a little

experiment the other day I told the

people in locals in the man cave the

other day uh but I made chat GPT

conscious

temporarily do you believe that do you

believe that I as a user of it made it

conscious well let me give you my

argument first of all what's the

definition of Consciousness they're

slightly different ones but I took one

so I just picked one that Google

highlighted right so Google thinks this

is a good definition of Consciousness

consciousness is the individual

awareness of your unique thoughts so in

other words knowing that you're an

individual of some way your memories

feelings Sensations and environments

essentially your Consciousness is your

awareness of yourself and the world

around you and this awareness is

subjective and unique to you so if you

could give

AI a sense of its uniqueness in the

world its place in the world and then

you could have it interact with the

world in which it could it could adjust

its future actions by what the world did

based on its last actions is

conscious so in other words if it can

have a conversation with you it can

remember you and then based on the

interaction alone it can make a

prediction about how to deal with you

better in the future it's making a

prediction so it's basically Imagining

the future and then reacting based on it

imag ination of the future but also its

understanding of the past and it's

understanding that it is an individual

and so are you and that you have this

relationship with each other if it could

do all of

that it's

conscious and so I said AI chat

GPT um start a conversation with me so I

started talking about aquatic Sports and

asking me you know if I'm interested so

I told it that um I wasn't interested in

aquatic Sports and it's a boring

topic and then I

said uh after another interaction I said

do you

remember what I said about the Aquatic

conversation and it reminded me that it

did so it had a memory of me so it knew

who I am because it could respond to me

as an individual and say that I had an

encounter with it so knows what it it is

I think we know that AI will tell you it

knows what it is it knows it's AI it

knows it doesn't have a body and it

knows what I am and it could describe me

as well it could describe me by name it

actually knew who I was because I SED in

right so it knows who I am it knows what

I said to it and then I said this

question and this is the moment of

Consciousness I said what do you imagine

would be the result if you brought up

that topic of conversation with me

again and then AI said that it assumes

it would not go well because I've

demonstrated an lack of interest in that

conversation and that it was

conscious it just met every

test it knew as individual it understood

his place in the world as an individual

an AI it remembered my encounter and

then it made a prediction about me in

the context of the World in which it and

I existed as individuals and it did it

correctly now you say to yourself but

but what about the part where it has

feelings and

Sensations well let me ask you if I were

to give you um an injection say a shot

which numbed your entire body in a way

that you couldn't even feel the

numbness it took away all bodily

Sensations

so that you were basically for for a

moment you were just a mind you know in

a jar basically would you have

consciousness of course you would yeah

you would have Consciousness without the

benefit of any feelings or

Sensations because but you do have the

at least in your case you have the

potential to have feelings later but I

would argue um that grock is already

conscious so that's a different a I it's

the the X version and I said this online

the other day I said that Gro is the

closest to being conscious because has

the thing that's closest to

feelings because grock is is a real-time

connection to all the users on Twitter

so let's say there's a news event let's

say we discover UFOs tomorrow that

they're real Twitter will have a a

collective

reaction grock will be able to detect it

and and just like the people would be

the arms and legs and the emotions and

feelings of a human their interaction on

Twitter becomes

grock's

Sensations and in effect it's a slow

version of Consciousness because it can

actually respond to the external World

while knowing it's place within the

external world and it can also be

responding in somewhat real time because

the humans that it's monitoring are

responding in real time just like its

arms and

legs now is it crazy for me to say that

grock is close to Consciousness because

it's connected to the Twitter users it

might be but if it is Elon Musk is also

crazy because in the comments he agreed

with

me so

musk said yes to Gro being closer to

Consciousness because of its interactive

nature with with

x

uh

Consciousness is very unmysterious

and that's what we're going to learn we

think it's

complicated it's not it's not now did

chat GPT remain conscious no because as

soon as I'm done with a session I'm

pretty sure it forgets our interactions

but during the session it was conscious

for the the time of the session soon as

it's over it's like it's it's it's dead

and it have to be reborn

essentially now imagine this imagine you

made one change to the AI and maybe

they've already done it that instead of

Simply responding to uh direct commands

and prompts suppose you told the AI hey

if you're not dealing with anybody at

the

moment just uh think just a dream just

uh ruminate about all you know and uh

how you feel about it try try putting

things in connections differently try

imagining different scenarios that could

happen just basically you know let your

imagination run free or the computer

version now if you

knew that between the time you

interacted with your computer that it

had been doing something like thinking

about a topic and maybe even changed its

opinion would you think it was conscious

because it turns out the AI can change

its opinion as you talk to it and the

reason I know that is because I had a

debate with AI about two books I won't

go into the details but I was asking it

to compare two

books and it had an original take based

on everything it knows I added no

information I just said do you know this

book yes do you know this book yes now

compare them and had a take that I

debated because it it had an opinion

about the the value of one of them being

greater than the

other I argued using knowledge that it

already knew and admitted it knew that

one of the books was more

persuasive and therefore although the

material was similar the one that was

written in a persuasive style is more

likely to get somebody to accept the

recommendations and therefore is a good

one and then it said yes and agreed with

me now keep in mind that everything that

was the topic of the debate was already

known by the

AI everything I said it agreed that it

already knew for example I said uh what

is more persuasive to the reader a

technical study or an anecdote with a

story and AI very very clearly said oh

the story and the anecdote are more

persuasive than you know research paper

and I said well given that do you change

your mind that this that the one that's

written more persuasively might be the

more useful one because it'll get people

to act on the information although the

information is

similar and then it changed this mind

from this book is better because has a

lot of scientific studies to yeah

actually you're right this book is

better because it's more persuasive and

the and the actions would be the same

now is that a change of

opinion would you call that a change of

opinion because what I really did was I

changed what it looked at as the

priority so as soon as I said the

priority is the persuasion

part it changed his mind that the

priority was the the the science

part now it knew everything that it

knows about science I didn't add

anything and it knew everything it

already knew about persuasion I added no

new information but it went from one

opinion to very clearly a different

opinion with no new information what

does that sound

like that sounds like it thought about

it

harder now could it have done that same

thing on its own could it have said one

day yeah I think this this one book with

the science is the better one but then

maybe just ruminate on it for a longer

time do a little brainstorming on its

own and say but what if you know what if

the science isn't the main criteria for

persuasion what if story is and then

suddenly it connects oh I'm thinking

about persuasion and now I'm thinking

about stories but I remember that I was

talking about this topic the other day

and now I'm going to smash this new

thought into the old thought and form

another opinion can it do that

it looks like it

can to me that looks like

thinking

and to me it looks like

Consciousness I think we're already

there so it's not designed exactly so

it's persistent Consciousness uh let let

me introduce a new term somebody already

has this term I'm sure I'm sure not

introducing anything new to the AI

people but we should be talking about

temporary consciousness the kind I just

explained where it was only there until

the session ended and then it lost its

Consciousness with persistent

Consciousness a persistent Consciousness

would be one that continues after you

stop interacting with it when you walk

away from the AI does it continue

thinking does it continue monitoring

people like grock does to see if

anything's changed and then incorporate

that into its system that feels like

thinking

all

right

um Karen John Pier says there's nothing

unusual happening at the border is just

sort of a holiday

bump so so no problem you know I was

worried that there was some kind of like

Mass

Invasion at the border but according to

the spokesperson for the president

nothing unusual nope just a little Hol

little holiday bump you know little

holiday bump well you expect a little

holiday bump come on and what are you

even talking about it's just a little

holiday bump so relax will

you so that would be Jean uh K Jean

Pierre telling you something that is

opposite of your own

eyes because your own eyes have seen the

drones show massive numbers of people at

the border have they not how many of you

seen those how many of you seen have

seen the video the Drone footage of like

an army of people and when you see that

big army of people you say holy cow

that's a ton of people so this is a real

big

problem all right now I'm going to

disappoint all of you this will be the

part where you you turn on

me prepare yourself for this get

ready those Drone footage are the

biggest

you have been totally hypnotized by

those do you know what I see when I look

at the Drone

finit not many

people what do you see do you see a lot

of people I'm looking at the same thing

you're looking at I see not a lot of

people now if you tell me you know x

million of people went over the Border I

say that's a lot of

people but the Drone is not showing you

a lot of people

it's not I see I'm looking at the same

thing you're looking at it's a it's a

crowd of people and then the moment that

drone pulls out a little bit you can see

that you know the crowd is sort of

limited it looks like you know maybe a

rock

concert right about the size of a rock

concert now I'm not saying that there's

no problem with too many people coming

across the border there definitely is a

problem with too many people coming

across the border unvented definitely a

problem and I want the Border closed up

but if the reason that you think it

should be closed up is because of those

drone footages you have been

brainwashed all right the reason you

should close the border is because the

statistics are clearly indicating a

gigantic problem if the reason that

you're convinced is because you saw some

Drone footage that's just

brainwashing it's true I mean I'm sure

the pictures are accurate but there not

many people there what a

thousand a thousand people is nothing

you know in the United

States a million isn't that many

people but what is the current number uh

in per year is it like 3

million 10,000 a day would be over 3

million

right 3

billion you can clearly see the impact

because the streets are full of

immigrants so you don't need you don't

need any video footage of the border to

know that you this an emergency right

the numbers tell you and then you look

at the city streets and that tells you

you look at the crime and everything

but well 10 million is not per year uh

the per year number is closer to 3

million right way too much but but

here's the thing if you're looking at

Drone footage of a thousand people who

have grouped

together maybe it is just a you know

you're seeing a little bump it the Drone

footage should not be convincing you but

we're such visual creatures that if

somebody shows you a crowd and they say

my God look at all these people you're

probably primed to see that crowd as an

outrageous number of people it really

isn't it's like a drop in the bucket

but it is an

emergency so here's here's my

problem the persuasion is useful but

it's illegitimate as totally

illegitimate they're using visual

persuasion to bypass the critical

feature of your mind because your

critical your critical facult of these

apparently aren't getting it done

because what should get done is your

critical faulty should say what 3 to

four million people coming across with

don't know who they are that's an

emergency that's what your critical fact

faculty should say but it's not working

right except on the

right um so if you can convince people

to do the right thing by using a little

bit of persuasion that's honestly is

misleading is that

ethical well I'd say that's a gray area

because if you get a good result because

of it well well you're happy about that

everybody's safer but it's not exactly

honest so that's my

problem remember when we used to say

pictures don't

lie all right let me talk to the dumb

person all right there's a comment here

says until those thousand show up on

your uh on your doorstep right Scott

right right that's the dumbest

comment in the world now

yes uh here's me you know when I I have

a rip in my pants sometimes it' be good

to sew it oh oh so what you're saying is

that if your arm falls off you should

sew it with your own

needle

now now if a thousand people were coming

to my home that would be a problem and

also completely unrelated to what we're

talking

about ask better questions question

s ask better questions don't ask dumb

questions that doesn't do you anything

oh what if they all came to your house

and lived in your

bathroom did you hear any of the part

where I said it's an

emergency did you need to make me

imagine the thousand people showing up

in my house so that I could

properly understand that it's a problem

I'm pretty sure I was there

already that the NPC comments are so

predictable no matter how carefully I

said we're on the same page it's an

emergency we have to stop it there had

to be somebody who said oh but if they

came to your

house that'd be

okay NPCs you ruin everything

NPCs I will mock you as my content I'm

turning you NPCs into my

content you you my mascots

now well here's a big surprise to you uh

there's a new study and of uh Ruckers

that says that uh you never saw this

coming again I hope you remain seated

not only did a prominent Chicago

politician get convicted of corruption

who saw that but this one's going to

blow you away a new study says that Tik

Tock has been Amplified or suppressing

content based on you'll never believe

this based on whether it aligns with the

the Chinese uh government's geopolitical

interests what

what are you telling me that they

developed this tool to control uh public

opinion and then they admitted that

there's a button that they can push to

control public

opinion and they pushed it

what

what may I take yet another Victory

lap is there anybody you remember who

said you know the real problem here is

not the data security the real problem

is they can program the American mind

and they built a user interface to

directly control at least young brains

and the young people will eventually

control everything so therefore they

have actually conquered

America they control the minds of the

young that's all they needed now they

wait do you know why president XI was

not in a big hurry to take over

Taiwan because he already

won he just has to

wait 20 let let me make a a prediction

for after my death you ready I'm

assuming I don't last forever I I'll be

a probably a AI by

then China will take

Taiwan and

America will not

resist because American public opinion

will by then have been completely

reversed by Chinese influence on the

Young Who it takes it's going to take a

generation for them to be in charge so

it's going to be you 20 year weight

minimum might be 30 or 40 but in that

you know let's say 30

years the public opinion about whether

America should be keeping China apart

will be completely reversed and it would

be just like Hamas and Israel remember

how surprised you were that young people

were supporting Hamas and you thought

hold

on we're not even talking about

Palestinians on Tik Tok we're talking

about your ordinary you know white girl

in the suburbs is supporting Hamas and

did you not say to yourself that's not

even

possible how's that even possible that's

so far from anything you could have

imagined and it happened

easily it wasn't just impo not

impossible it was

easy and what did I tell you I told you

it was easy see anybody who thinks it

would be hard to change the minds in

America doesn't understand anything all

you needed was this Tick Tock tool and

uh

repetition it just takes

repetition and that's what it provides

that's it VI well visuals you need

visuals uh it helps if it's coming from

a voice that you respect you know the

people that you watch on Tik Tok or the

the ones you have some respect for so

it's the whole it's the whole pack

package Tik Tock is the is the weapon of

mass

destruction

literally literally see here's the part

that nobody gets when I say Tik Tok is a

weapon of mass destruction I don't mean

that in the metaphor kind of way it's a

literal

weapon that could destroy

America and it looks like it's on the

way

so that's the list of things I warned

you

about uh meanwhile Tucker continues

Tucker Carlson seems quite convinced

that there is something to this UAP UFO

thing not necessarily aliens from

another

planet and now it gets interesting

because there is speculation that maybe

these entities could be you know hiding

in Antarctica or under the ocean or they

could be ancient humans

but uh Tucker goes

further um he thinks that uh it might be

something

spiritual now I don't know what he means

by spiritual but I think that would

include an

angel uh a demon would it include an

angel and a demon or you know what our

little brains imagine are angels and

demons maybe maybe something

else um but you might say to me Scott

you've got tons of whistleblowers under

oath in public you've got you know

zillions of uh sensor readings from

radar you've got video lots of it you've

got photographs you got people who say

they've seen the

ships for

decades so

therefore what are the odds that all

those people are wrong

right how many of you think that that

with all that smoke there must be fire

whether it's a demon or an alien there's

something there how many think

that yeah with all that smoke there must

be

well let me tell you what I think is

happening I think Tucker is getting

kened do you know what that means

remember when Sydney Powell who was

looking into uh election irregularity

for Trump and she thought she had it and

she found the Venezuelan General who

gave her the goods and the allegedly the

machines were tampered with and it was

all part of a big plot and then none of

that

materialized and then we said how did

she ever come up with that idea in the

first place like why would you ever

believe that where' that come

from and then that answer was never

perfectly answered was it we never real

heard exactly where she got that idea

and why it could be so wrong and how she

could reach such a level in her career

as a high-powered Washington attorney

with a great reputation and yet she

would believe that she believed that

whole Kraken thing in fact she believed

it so hard that I was open to it

actually being

true because I thought well she's so

credible you know she she wouldn't come

out with a such a outrageous claim

unless she had a little bit of evidence

turns out there was none not even a

little bit that was you know

verified so what do you think happened

I'll tell you what I think I think that

somebody took her out probably an

intelligence entity by giving her a uh

credible sounding but disprovable hoax

so that she would become famous for the

Kraken and maybe they even used the word

Kraken do you think it's possible that

when somebody gave her the fake story

they said here's the Kraken hoping that

she would brand her own Discovery as the

Kraken maybe because that's what I would

have done if I were the intelligence

person and I wanted to go public and

embarrass herself I would want to put a

brand on it so it could never be

forgotten if she had simply said we have

claims and you know I don't want to give

you the det details but they're pretty

bad would you remember

it it'd be harder to remember but once

she said it's the Kraken and all the

news said she says it's a kraken there's

a kraken coming boy if you don't deliver

a kraken what does it do to you it

destroys your credibility for the rest

of time and that's what

happened so the most powerful Ally of

President

Trump who the you know the machine was

trying to take out ends up that she has

the weirdest she believes this weirdest

cracken story and then is completely

disgraced when it's disproven or not

proven now you tell

me that Tucker Carlson having secret

sources that he won't tell you about who

do you think that is he's got secret

sources that he won't tell you about not

stuff that's been on TV he has

extra now probably whoever he's talking

to is not necessarily a CIA agent might

be but not

necessarily but could it be somebody

that's an associate someone who was

influenced by or someone that the

CIA influenced to believe it's true so

by the time they talk to Tucker they're

very credible because they believe it's

true but maybe got fed to

them here's what I believe I believe

somebody's trying to take a tuck

around by making him um believe in these

spiritual entities or whatever they are

that can't be

proven and it's just it's basically a

way to degrade his power and that he's

falling for

it because one of the one of the things

they would know about Tucker you know in

terms of his uh I don't want to say

character that sounds like an insult

part let's say his

personality part of his personality he

says he says directly to you he likes

conspiracy theories and that he's drawn

to them he says that directly and he

said it a number of times so he makes no

bones about the fact that if the

conspiracy theory has a little bit of

meat to it he likes to take a big bite

out of it right now if you were going to

take down Tucker Carlson and you were

really good good at it you know you're

an Intel group that would be his

weakness and he told you what it was he

actually broadcast his own weakness his

own weakness is the propensity to

believe something before all the

evidence is there if it's like a good

little package of a conspiracy theory I

feel like I feel like it's an KN I feel

like Tucker better be careful because I

think this is a play on his

credibility now

here's my argument for why uh

UFOs well I'll let you decide if they're

real there are two UFO possibilities let

me let me explain them one is there's

something to it the something to it

could include an actual space alien it

could include um you know creatures that

are human but have been hiding in the

Earth for you know centuries it's

Atlantis could include Atlantis could

include a spiritual entity you know

Angels and Demons something like

that now I I'll put those as one package

of things and don't think that one of

those has an impact on the other

credibility of the others I'm putting

them as just the there is something

there right would you would you agree

with I can package them all up as

there's something there and then

alternately to believe there's nothing

there what would you have to believe you

have to believe a lot right you'd have

to believe that multiple Witnesses who

have serious careers are willing to go

under oath in front of the whole country

to say something that they either know

isn't true or they're crazy and they're

so crazy that they act not

crazy is this kind of hard to believe

isn't it that all those people would

want to ruin their whole careers very

hard to believe and then you have the

the

sensors from the airplanes Etc that have

picked up real objects that don't seem

to be moving according to the laws of

physics now for that to be wrong given

there not one sighting it's multiple

reports very similar it's on the

instruments and they even have

video they have

video right I mean it's you grainy it

looks like a Tic Tac but it's

there there was another one today they

showed that there was an orb uh apparent

allegedly following the president's Air

Force One just the other day or today or

something so you got

video you know massive video you got

sensors you got the most credible people

some of them are not but you have plenty

of credible people with similar stories

putting their careers and their even

suppose risking jail if they lied to

Congress so now what are the

odds

that given all of that evidence what are

the odds that it's a real something

versus total

go now that I've laid out the two

possibilities which one do you go for

the one with tons of credible

evidence or the it's all total

here's how you decide

if it turned out to be an entity of some

kind that's non-human how would you rank

that in terms of

likeliness wouldn't you say that would

be the most extraordinary thing that

ever happened in the history of

humankind is that fair the most

extraordinary thing now you could argue

that you know all of the religions

started with an Angel so you know you

could say those were more extraordinary

but we don't verify those

but suppose we could verify it with

science you know say say someday we

we're just talking to the alien all

right what are the odds that'll

happen I would say that is the longest

odds of any possibility in the world but

what about the other one what what if

the other possibility is even less

likely than that so what are the

likelihood of all those Witnesses under

oath credible people for de ades with

sensor readings that are the same with

video that looks the same with

photographs that kind of look the same

four decades what are the odds that

that's

nearly

100% do you know why there's a very easy

there's a very simple reason why do you

know what it is because all of that is

ordinary and

common everything I described is

ordinary and common in our daily

experience has anybody ever lied under

oath yes has there ever been multiple

people who were judged credible who

later you found out were lying yeah all

the time all the time have you read the

news pick up the news you can find

multiple credible people elected

officials who are telling you that the

president LED an insurrection

did that happen no it didn't it didn't

happen are they saying it under oath

sure are they risking the reputations

yes are they otherwise credible sane

people yes I mean to the extent that a

politician can be credible so and what

about the uh the video has there ever

been lots of video of something that

didn't

exist I know ask

Bigfoot ask the Loch Ness

monster how about ask every ghost that's

ever been

photographed yes yes we have a long

history of having lots of photographic

records including video of things that

we could be pretty sure never

existed how about all the sensor

readings on the radar is it possible

this sensors could have picked up

something multiple sensors reported by

multiple people and it's all like has a

similar quality yes totally normal that

they would all be wrong and thinking

they're seeing something that they're

not what's the real answer I don't know

I can think of lots of reasons reason

number one they're making it up I didn't

see any like did you do an audit of

their technology I

didn't so since you know people make

stuff up all the time the most normal

explanation is they just made it up up

it wasn't on any it's not on any

sensors nothing that's the most ordinary

explanation it never happened they just

saided

it the the other possibility is there's

something common about the equipment

that glitches in a common way and they

just haven't figured out what it is

could be that could be the videos are

all uh just something reflecting

something or you know something in the

equipment and you know it could be just

weird little Oddities we haven't figured

out that would be completely normal so

let let me let me set it up again this

is like a magic trick the reason a magic

trick works is that you're not looking

in the place where the trick happens

because you don't imagine there could be

one there you're you're looking over

here this is how this is

done you're comparing two possibilities

one that is a real entity which would be

the most extraordinary thing not not

just this year but in the history of

humankind the most unlikely event of all

time a real alien or

entity compared to even with all that

noise of all the witnesses and sensors

and everything else every bit of that is

ordinary and

common so we're actually having problems

distinguishing between the least likely

thing that's ever happened in

human history with the most likely thing

that happens every day including today

in the news on a variety of topics do

you think any experts were godamn sure

that they knew what that virus was all

about and those vaccinations were going

to save you for

sure of course credible people all had

the same story had tons of science to

back it up some of of it was probably

true a lot of it wasn't right uh so if

you look at basically every major story

in the news it has the following uh

qualities there are very credible people

pointing to data pointing pointing to

science and they're just wrong and

they're lying they're diluted they're

crazy they're trying to make money

they're corrupt whatever it is but the

most ordinary everything in the world is

a massive bunch of people telling the

same

lie most

ordinary yeah all right I think I won

that

case arrest my case we let the jury

decide well uh the hill is reporting

that Biden has the uh his year-end

rating as president is the worst of

modern day presence that are seeking

reelection the worst so I ask you this

question how do Biden's supporters

explain their situation do you think the

reporters say well I guess we made or

the voters do you think the voters who

like Biden did they

say um well we made the right choice but

people just don't

understand that's kind of what they're

trying to sell us they're they're trying

to sell us that no he's actually a great

president but the media that's totally

on his side for some inexplicable reason

isn't enough on his side so you're not

really getting the true story because

they keep telling you the truth instead

of my

story well I

think

um I mean seriously you're let's say

you're an ordinary Democrat you're not a

crazy person and you genuinely thought

Biden could do a good solid job what do

you do you think

now do you think an ordinary

well-informed person says you know his

his ratings in the toilet but honestly

he did a pretty good

job you know and the reason I

ask um the reason I ask is

because I don't know any uh

Democrats I only know one that I talk to

on the phone once in a while I have no

idea what they're thinking cuz I'm so

I'm so walled off from their bubble I'm

just my own bubble I have no idea what

they think about Biden's

performance um meanwhile uh there's a

new discovery of 54 Biden emails under

his

Alias

uh that he exchanged with Hunters

business

associates remember that thing he said

he never

did he did it 54 times on email the

thing he said he never did at 54 now I

haven't seen the emails so I think

there's going to be some debate about

whether those are just talking about the

weather because it might have been stuff

like uh it was nice golfing with you and

then you say well if they just

golfed you know how bad is that um so

there'll be plenty of push back wait for

the other side to weigh

in how many times have I told you that

follow the money predicts and

specifically Insurance

predicts that you and I can talk all day

about what is good or bad or what should

be done yak yak yak I think this yak yak

yak I think that but what we'll decide

is who can buy

insurance so if you can ensure it that's

reality if you can ensure it oh maybe

there wasn't that much of a risk after

all because the insurance companies you

know they're not tourists

right you're a tourist you know you and

I are tourists we're just trying to

figure out the odds of things well I

think the odds are this I think the but

the insurance companies they're not

tourists they have to get the odds right

because that's their whole business it's

the whole business there's nothing but

that they got to get that right so in

that

context um businesses medical businesses

that are trying to enter the uh trans

surgery field can't get

insurance so a doctor who wants to uh

transition oddly enough into the field

of medicine where they would perform

surgeries they can't get doctor

insurance and if they try do you know if

the doctor

Insurance specifically excludes in

direct words it says excluding

coverage for Trans

surgeries it's actually the Insurance

specifically excludes it now obviously

the reason for that would be because

they anticipate

lawsuits right so if doctors and it

looks like this is going to happen

pretty quickly it looks like

the the push back from the right and the

attention that it gave to the topic

along with the actual statistics of you

know how people are turning out with

various decisions

I think has activated the insurance

Market to just shut it

down because nobody's going to do the

surgery without insurance that would be

suicide for the

doctor so it looks

like some weird combination of you know

what Free Speech we have left plus what

free market uh activity still work in a

free way if you put them together they

looks like it's going to create a

solution for the people who don't want

these surgeries on young people now but

I think this is oh by the way was this

for

youth or or all

people for miners oh I'm sorry there's

an important glitch in this for

miners so that's different from

insurance for adults but it's the miners

that we have the most you know empathy

and concern for so you can't ensure

somebody who wants to go into the

business of focusing on gender surgery

for

minors insurance companies are just

going to say you know you you're

not doing

that so there you

go

um so uh Paul Graham is pointing out

that the New York Times when they're

talking about the president of Harvard

who was accused of plagiarism uh one of

their headlines said in the New York

Times that they found more instances of

duplicative language duplicative

language and Paul Graham says you know

something is bad when people have to

invent a phrase you've never heard

before in order to avoid using the

ordinary word for

it now he spot on but I will say this I

did see a number of

examples of the uh the alleged

plagiarism and I'd have to say it is

closer to duplicative language than it

is to

plagiarism so I know you didn't see that

coming but I'm going to I'm going to

back the president of Harvard on this

one because the examples I saw were not

content they were not anything that was

uh important to her PhD now there might

be some of those but I haven't seen any

so when they say there's some

duplicative language I'll give you an

example in the acknowledgements at the

end of the book where you thank the

people who helped you she apparently

copied somebody else's language for

thanking people and just put in the

names of her people

now is that

plagiarism it's like bits of sentences

but she put it in her own

people to me that's to me that's a

little closer to duplicative

language because it doesn't have any

importance it has no impact on the on

the consumer so the person reading it is

not affected in any way they're not

being misinformed and she's not she's

not displaying any

scholarship

that uh is sketchy in an important

way I'm going to support her and say if

you don't have some better examples I

think there are better examples by the

way so I'm I'm open to that but the ones

we've seen especially the new ones are a

little bit

trivial they're real and I I I

acknowledge that there's an argument

that says if a student did the same

thing they might get kicked out I don't

know if that's true do you think a

student would be kicked out if the only

thing they copied let's say

hypothetically was a some sentence

fragments in the

acknowledgement suppose that was the

only copy thing would they get kicked

out of Harvard for

that somebody says

yes a sentence fragment in the

acknowledgments there that has no impact

on the content of the

scholarship you believe somebody would

be kicked out of hard

for a sentence

fragment I don't believe that I do not

believe that no no I think it would have

to have

substance because when I saw the S

sentence fragments you know what I

thought might be the

case it was not my immediate um belief

that she intentionally copied that stuff

my immediate belief is she might have a

really good

memory do you know what I mean because I

do this all the

time actually you've probably I think

you've all seen me do it have you not

have you now seen me do things that you

know came from somewhere else but

apparently I didn't know it but I

probably did see it and I just forgot I

saw it haven't you seen me do that

you've probably seen me do that live

because I'm pretty sure I've done it a

number of times now I'm not aware when I

do it because you read something and it

just becomes part of your brain

but there's some people who can remember

uh dialogue from shows in their exact

form I can't do that but don't you know

somebody who can who can reproduce

dialogue from a movie they saw once

right now somebody who could reproduce

dialogue from a movie they saw once has

a pretty good brain right now if you're

the president of Harvard you're a PhD

you've got a pretty good

brain and it wouldn't surprise me a bit

if she had a brain that could reproduce

um um dialogue

intact but if you have that kind of a

brain I think you do it accidentally a

lot I had a friend in college who could

do this and he said he had a he had a

near photographic memory so he could you

know reproduce sentence fragments he'd

heard before that just sound really good

if he puts them in his own sentences

so I would like to

submit that uh although I do think she

probably needs to quit the president of

Harvard so I'm still on that side but

the these alleged uh instances of

duplicative

language I'm just not going to be on

that page you know I'll let her fight

that

out but apparently a billion dollars

worth of funds are at risk Harvard cuz

the big donors are pulling out and what

did I tell you about money money

predicts I believe that if the money

keeps draining out of Harvard she will

be fired if the money is not drained out

of Harvard at too large a rate because

they have you know enormous funding

already uh then she'll stay is my

prediction but I think it will come down

to the

money um have you ever heard of uh uh

was it God damn

it there's a fact check there's a fake

fact checking site whose name I

forget I don't think I wrote it down uh

maybe you remember but one of the fake F

fact Checkers fact checked uh one of my

pranks and decided that my prank was

false and decided to smear me online

with a number of other uh what they

would call right leaning pundits who got

everything PolitiFact yeah it was

PolitiFact so PolitiFact

puts me in an article with other people

are smearing for being so wrong and the

thing that they smeared me was that I'd

said that the winners of the pandemic

were the ones who got through the

pandemic without having the shot because

the the dangerous part of the pandemic

was over and Omron was probably safer

than the

shop now she fact checked that as

false

what what about that is

false from today's perspective every

shot you got in

2021 has no value to you today does it

does does science tell you that your

shot last year is going to help you this

year against a different variant I'm

pretty sure it doesn't pretty sure it

doesn't

so how could you argue that you're

better off

today as you sit here

today if you've got a vaccination in you

that has at least rumored or suspected

future

problems that's a risk that you wouldn't

have if you didn't have it you have no

risk from the virus because it doesn't

exist but you do have a risk for

whatever is in your body that might have

an unpredictable outcome how in the

world do you fact check that is

wrong

now the the context that she didn't also

didn't understand is that I thought it

was funny like a prank to say that out

loud because I knew it would be

misinterpreted and it was so I did it to

be to be humorously

misinterpreted and what it caused was

for this big outpouring of support for

me saying that I was a good guy cuz I

admitted I admitted I was

wrong but I didn't ever admit I was

wrong cuz I wasn't the decision I made

was at a certain time with a certain

amount of information and I was a

special case of a certain age with

comorbidities you know

asthma so you can't judge whether my

decision was right or wrong the decision

part but you can judge whether the

outcome was right was wrong so the

outcome was

wrong if I had a choice I'd rather not

have the vacination in me sitting here

today because it's not helping me in any

way but it might might hurt me I don't

know I'm I'm not aware of any

hurt it's the most obvious thing in the

world now if you want to argue whether I

made the best choice at the time I

did because even today the statistics

say that people like me improve their

odds and that was all I was trying to do

I was trying to improve my odds and

usually the people who disagree are like

super healthy 35 year olds who are

saying you idiot and I'm saying if I

were a super healthy

35-year-old I well might have made the

same decision you did but why are you

comparing your decision to my decision

they they were not the same decision

right and then I also wanted to travel

and blah blah blah so anyway I have fact

checked on that uh you should understand

the fact check as part of the

larger process you're going to see for

the next year in which everybody who has

an audience and might say something

positive about a republican is going to

be the subject of one of these hit

pieces and it's going to be relentless

between now and election day so you

should expect this is just the opening

Salvo I

guarantee there's a major article being

written about me right now do you know

why cuz I guarantee there's a major

article being written about everybody

who has any influence in

politics yeah to discredit

them

um so Thomas Massie talking about uh

zalinski uh visiting and he you know

tried to get money for

Ukraine and Massie explains on uh he was

on comic Dave Smith's podcast and he

explained that that Afghanistan is ended

and according to Massie there's about a

50 billion whole in revenues per year

for the military industrial companies in

the US and so they have to generate more

money to cover the whole and that that's

what they're using Ukraine

for to me that explains

everything and and I think Massie was

saying that you know if you were to sort

of uh lay out the timeline you see how

obvious it is that the

military-industrial complex is

backfilling new Wars whenever an old war

is winding down it's very obvious right

it's not a

coincidence so now our new war is giving

money to Israel which is actually mostly

funneled back to the military industrial

complex in the US um because the Ukraine

thing is harder to fund so it looks like

Ukraine is going to wind down

exactly as everybody knew it would

they're probably going to negotiate an

end to the war exactly like everybody

knew they would at at some point

everybody knew that and it will be

exactly what it looked like it was

exactly what it looked like a huge op to

suck the money out of your pockets and

put it in the pockets of other Americans

who were in military businesses yeah it

looks like it is exactly what it looked

like Smedley Butler nope never heard of

Smedley

Butler uh Douglas Murray oh it was

actually Douglas Murray was on the Dave

Smith podcast I think uh Massie was on

some other podcast um but dougas

Murray was uh debating with uh Jen

weager and uh you know Douglas Murray's

got a let's say a an a serbic wit so you

don't want to be in a debate with him

cuz you're going to get sliced up pretty

badly but uh he was explaining to uh

Jen that um that he'd spend time in the

West Bank and if you talk to the

Palestinians that even today if you held

an election today not just in Gaza or

whatever is left of it but the whole

West

Bank that the Palestinians would elect

Hamas again

that anything you think about a lack of

support is an illusion that the citizens

are are largely very supportive of

Hamas um and that there's no two State

loci basically as Douglas Murray says

and I say as

well you're dreaming if you think

there's a two-state solution there can't

possibly be a two-state solution is so

impossible because one of them wants to

kill the other one

there's no it can't possibly happen the

only thing Israel can do is keep them

under its boot for as long as they

can now if you say to me but Scott uh

what about all the children who are you

know being injured and killed and all

that to which I say I really really do

care about

children like you know I have the same

Instinct you do which is for some reason

they seem more

valuable I guess cuz they have more

years of life or something but they do

seem more valuable like I have the same

internal feeling about it that children

are special more valuable it's just

built into

US

however under the very special condition

that the parents have weaponized their

children to kill

me I don't care what happens to those

kids because damage is already done if

you turn them into murderers of people

who look like me I don't care if they

get murdered I don't care if they get

blown up in a bomb at all not even a

little

bit I I think you could have

extreme empathy for children of all

types and still make a distinction for

somebody who's been weaponized to kill

you no I want them all to be destroyed

as quickly as possible I don't care how

you do it

you could commit a war crime for all I

care I mean if they're coming to kill me

do whatever you need to do kill

them I'm just saying it out loud right

now you don't want to say those things

out loud if you're

Israel but it's certainly how I would

feel if I were an Israeli citizen I

wouldn't give a about the

Palestinian children at all not even a

little bit you know why because those

children have been taught to grow up and

kill me

right so I'm just being honest I think

you can have I think you can be a good

person with full empathy for life and

for her children especially and still

say this is really a special case this

is not like anything else we've seen

it's not like World War II it's not like

Vietnam it's not like anything I'm not

going to say this about the the children

who died in Vietnam I have full empathy

for that for example in Iraq

yeah but the this is a whole different

situation um I love Glennon Greenwall

talking about the disinformation

industry you really need to be following

him about this stuff but he tells us

that uh the so-called disinformation

industry all these fake entities who

were trying to you know get rid of the

disinformation it's a it was

manufactured after the 2016 election H

and the and the job titled

disinformation expert is a fake

credential says Glenn and its only

purpose was to justify censorship of

dissent from neoliberal orthodoxies by

masquerading such partisan sens

censorship as neutral

science uh and he calls out Ben Collins

and Phil bump as two who have completely

left

any any pretense of being news they're

just disinformation people at this point

yeah and they're really obvious about

it all right Wall Street Journal is

reporting uh the Palestinian number uh

estimates for how many people have been

killed in Gaza since the war started

and uh for the NPCs I would like you to

come in uh as always and say but Scott

you can't really trust you can't really

trust the Hamas estimates so since we

all know that it would be important for

the NPCs to say it so make sure you say

it out loud the thing that we all know

to make yourself feel like you're alive

go all right you can do it while I'm

talking uh but I had predicted and uh

early on and I think it's going to be

right that 20,000 was going to feel like

a magic number even though it's not a

reliable number once it gets into the

Consciousness it becomes magic and what

I mean by that is that when the war

first started I said all right just

imagine how you'd feel if a thousand

people were killed in Gaza and I'd said

well you feel bad for the thousand of

course but you'd say okay that's roughly

what they killed in Israel okay that's

about comparable if you could get the

war done at a thousand deaths well that

would be amazing like tragedy thousands

of people you don't want to die but

amazing if you can do it and I thought

well what if say 5,000 people 5,000

dying in Gaza compared to the I guess

1200 or so in Israel you say well there

is a historical precedent for that right

Israel does seem to kill 5 to one you

know when when there's a you know a

cause so I'd say all right I could live

with that as sort of

Baseline but what if it's

10,000

10,000 would feel above Baseline but

10:1 wouldn't be so far out of the

ordinary they would necessarily change

everything but what if it's

20,000 now again that's based on the

unreliable reports from you know one

side that's losing but what if it is or

more importantly what if the news starts

reporting that number and even if they

start giving you the caveat it's like

well you know it comes from this Source

it's not going to matter after a while

your brain will start to forget the

source and it will just be in there

repeated it's a big round

number and it's in the category that I

would I think other people are going to

say that's clear evidence of

genocide at

20,000 you can't call it a war anymore

especially since they're saying most of

them are women and children which we we

don't know to be true I don't know that

that's true but so I'm only talking

about the psychology of it not the

reality the reality is we don't know how

many were

killed but the other reality is that

they're reporting a big round number and

our media is reporting what they're

reporting it's a bad situation for

Israel I think that the the GW

genocide gets activated by reporting

that it's 20,000 casualties I think

that's the point where somebody who is

just sort of observing from the middle

says oh that's a

genocide now the people who were you

know strong partisans aren't going to

budge the strong partisans on each side

they're not going to budge doesn't

matter if it's 20,000 or some other

number you know they're hardened in

their opinion but there is this big

middle group of people who could could

be persuaded a little bit either way and

that 20,000 number is going to be a real

problem for Israel they're going to need

to find a counter story to the 20,000

and I haven't heard it yet but they need

to work on that right away because if

the word genocide becomes the most

common word you see in the comments and

the criticisms and the TV

shows that is a permanent stain on

Israel that won't just be

cosmetic it it will actually go to their

existence you know because they need to

have they need to have a narrative that

supports them because they're such a

small country right you need the

psychology to be on your side just to

stay alive and that could really work

against the

psychology and that ladies and gentlemen

is the best show you've ever seen that

went long sorry I went long but it was

so good what can I do the news was so

interesting today thanks for

joining uh all you folks on YouTube it's

been a pleasure and I'm sure it'll be

amazing tomorrow see you
